Unclassified DROP-listed space AFRINIC
Summary

What it's used for

ORG-IAL1-AFRINICassociated with the majority of prefixes. - The AS announces 9728 IPv4 addresses across 12 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining only 4 observed neighbours, a ratio that indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

ORG-RA4-AFRINIC, suggesting leased space or a distinct operational segment. - The inventory consists of a mix of /21, /22, /23, and /24 blocks, with the largest being 41.138.248.0/21 and 41.207.120.0/21.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-30, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 447 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-30. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
