AS20459 TELECOM-NAMIBIA-AS
Unclassified AFRINIC NSP
Summary
Telecom Namibia
transit telecom national
TELECOM-NAMIBIA-AS is operated by Telecom Namibia.
What it's used for
- The space carries a single IPv6 prefix,
2c0f:ef08::/32, with no announced IPv4 addresses. - The network maintains 133 observed neighbours against a minimal address inventory, a ratio that indicates a transit or national backbone role rather than an access network.
Notable
- The registry holder is listed as Telecom Namibia, consistent with the AS handle.
- The address inventory consists solely of one IPv6 /32 block, with zero IPv4 prefixes in inventory or announced.

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.
