About this network

AFRIX-AS is operated by AFR-IX Telecom S.A.

What it's used for

• The address space carries blocks registered to AFR-IX entities and regional subsidiaries, including AFR-IX TELECOM LIMITED, AFR-IX MAURITANIE - SARL, AFR-IX TELECOM NIGER, and AFR-IX TELECOM CAMEROUN SARL.
• With 20,224 IPv4 addresses announced across 31 prefixes and 2,380 observed neighbours, the high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit role rather than an access network.
• As an NSP with an Africa scope, the traffic consists of inter-regional transit and backhaul for its subsidiary operations across West and Central Africa.

Notable

• Registrants align with the announcer, showing a consistent corporate structure with entities like AFR-IX DATA COMMUNICATIONS LIMITED and M'DATA TELECOM MALI SARL.
• The inventory is finely subdivided into /22 and /23 blocks, reflecting a corporate estate segmented by country or subsidiary rather than a single monolithic allocation.
