Summary
Zambia Research and Education Network
education research nren zambia
The AS handle ZAMREN is operated by Zambia Research and Education Network (ZAMREN).
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under the netname
ORG-ZRaE1-AFRINICand serves as a National Research and Education Network (NREN) for higher education and public research institutions in Zambia. - The network announces 81,920 IPv4 addresses across 19 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio indicative of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants for the largest prefixes align with the announcer, consistently listing Zambia Research and Education Network (ZAMREN) as the holder.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into numerous small blocks, including multiple /22, /23, and /24 prefixes within the 155.0.0.0/8 and 41.63.0.0/16 ranges, reflecting site-by-site segmentation typical of an internal corporate or institutional 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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
