Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
EriTel
government telecom state-owned sole-provider
ERITEL-AS is operated by Eritrea Telecommunication Service corporation (EriTel).
What it's used for
- The address space carries the national telecommunications infrastructure of Eritrea, as indicated by the registrant netname
ORG-ETSc1-AFRINICand the holder's status as the sole operator of landline telephone communication infrastructure in the country. - The AS announces 4096 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio that implies a small, isolated access network serving a single national market rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants in the RDAP data agree with the announcer, consistently listing Eritrea Telecommunication Service corporation (EriTel) for every prefix.
- EriTel was established in 1996 as a state-owned enterprise, initially known as the Telecommunications Service of Eritrea, and remains the sole communications service provider in the state.
- The inventory consists of a single /21 block and six smaller /23 and /24 blocks, all within the 196.200.96.0/21 range, reflecting a finely subdivided internal corporate estate.

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: 442 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
