Autonomous system
AS37467 ETherNeT
Unclassified AFRINIC Enterprise
Summary
EthERNet
education research network ethiopia
ETherNeT is operated by Ethiopian Educational Research Network (EthERNet).
What it's used for
- The space carries educational and research network traffic, consistent with the holder's mandate to connect Ethiopia's educational institutions.
- The AS announces 65536 IPv4 addresses within a single prefix (197.154.0.0/16) and maintains 1 observed neighbour, indicating a regional access network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- The registry holder and PeeringDB entry both identify the operator as EthERNet, confirming alignment between the announcer and the organisation.
- EthERNet was initiated in 2001 as part of a national capacity building program in Ethiopia, focusing on connectivity for schools and research institutions.
- The address inventory consists of a single /16 block, representing a contiguous and manageable range for an institutional network.

Interconnection

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
1 upstream, 0 downstream and 1 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation
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 1,772 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.
