About this network

CipherWave is operated by CipherWave, a South African Tier 1 ISP.

What it's used for

• The address space carries business connectivity, cloud, and security services, evidenced by reverse DNS entries like 102-165-208-0.cipherwave.net and 41-87-196-0.vlocity.co.za.
• With 41984 IPv4 addresses and 29 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests a regional access and business network rather than a pure transit provider.

Notable

• Registrants largely align with the announcer, with most prefixes registered to Cipherwave under netname ORG-CA6-AFRINIC, though one prefix (41.79.108.0/22) is registered to Go2Cloud.
• The address inventory is finely subdivided across 12 IPv4 prefixes and 8 IPv6 prefixes, indicating site-by-site segmentation typical of a corporate or multi-site ISP estate.
