Summary
Sudatel
isp telecom government business
Every block's netname is the registry's own organisation handle, seventy times over.
What it's used for
- The national telecoms operator. Seventy-four IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from Sudan, one hundred and thirty-one thousand addresses, across seven observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Nearly every block carries the same netname, and that netname is the internal handle of the organisation record: a prefix, an abbreviation with a number, and the registry's name.
- One block breaks the pattern with no netname at all and a registrant described only as a contact person.
- The holder string is the company's full name written twice, separated by a spaced hyphen, with the parenthesised long form included both times.
- The seventy-four blocks come from four unrelated ranges and are announced in pieces from
/18down. - Seven neighbours carry one hundred and thirty-one thousand addresses.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Seven upstreams for a country's incumbent operator is a small number, and it is the number that matters most here. Everything reachable behind this network depends on those seven, and the addresses say nothing about how many of them are usable at once.
- Reusing the organisation handle as the netname on every block means the registry can tell who owns the space and nothing can tell one block from another. The distinguishing field was spent on the fact all of them share.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
