About this network

UTANDE is operated by Utande Internet Services (Pvt) Ltd.

What it's used for

• The address space carries residential and business connectivity, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as ip-net-196-43-107-254.africaonline.co.zw, iwayafrica-uhf-gw-arundel.iwayafrica.co.zw, and gikko-ce.utande.co.zw.
• The AS announces 16,384 IPv4 addresses across 16 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 25 observed neighbours; this ratio of address space to peering partners is consistent with an access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
