About this network

KIN-AS is operated by Global Broadband Solution Inc.

What it's used for

• The address space carries broadband access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as 0.221.fki.af.gbs.cd and 254.222.mat.af.gbs.cd which indicate specific regional or site-based segments within the operator's network.
• The AS announces 5120 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 66 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address space to high peering count indicates a regional network service provider (NSP) role.
• Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber internet access and business connectivity services, as the operator provides WiMAX, VSAT, and unlimited volume internet services in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Notable

• Registrants for all announced prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing Global Broadband Solution Inc or Global Broadband Solution for the US and AFRINIC blocks.
• The address inventory is geographically diverse, including blocks from the US (31.209.128.0/21, 217.171.88.0/21) and AFRINIC (197.215.220.0/22), reflecting the operator's international infrastructure and peering relationships.
