Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
AccessGlobal Communication
business south-africa enterprise
The AS handle AccessGlobal-AS is held by AccessGlobal Communication (Pty) Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS names such as
gene-205-254.agc.net.za,saturn-222-254.agc.net.za, andcf-list-18-254.agc.net.za. - The network announces 12,288 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 19 observed neighbours. This ratio of moderate address space against a significant number of peering partners suggests a business or enterprise network with substantial connectivity requirements rather than a pure transit provider.
Notable
- All four largest IPv4 prefixes are registered to AccessGlobal Communication (Pty) Ltd under the netname
ORG-ACL7-AFRINIC, confirming that the registrants align with the AS announcer. - The address inventory consists of four distinct IPv4 blocks ranging from /19 to /22 sizes, alongside a single /32 IPv6 prefix, indicating a consolidated 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: 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.
