Summary

registry infrastructure other
AS37537 is operated by AfriNIC, the African Network Information Center.
What it's used for
- The address space carries the registry's own infrastructure, as indicated by the netname
ORG-AFNC1-AFRINICand registrantAfriNIC TEAM; African Network Information Center - (AfriNIC) Ltd. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix with 1 observed neighbour, a ratio consistent with a small, self-contained internal estate rather than a transit or access network.
Notable
- The registrant
AfriNIC TEAMaligns directly with the announcer, confirming the space is held by the registry itself. - The inventory consists of a single /24 block,
197.234.208.0/24, with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
