Ethekwini-Metro is operated by eThekwini Municipality, the metropolitan municipality governing Durban and surrounding areas in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under the netname
ORG-EM2-AFRINICwith the registrant listed as Ethekwini Municipality, indicating an internal corporate estate for municipal infrastructure. - The AS announces 1024 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and maintains 3 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a self-contained internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
Notable
- All four announced prefixes (41.222.213.0/24, 41.222.214.0/24, 41.222.215.0/24, and 196.11.233.0/24) share the same registrant and netname, confirming a unified ownership structure.
- The inventory consists of four /24 blocks in the 41.222.213.0/22 range and one separate /24 in 196.11.233.0/24, reflecting a finely subdivided internal address plan.

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.
