AS37548 ARPCE
Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
ARPCE
government regulatory congolese telecom
ARPCE is the handle for ARPCE, the regulatory agency for postal and electronic communications in the Republic of Congo.
What it's used for
- The space carries the agency's own infrastructure, indicated by the netname
ORG-AA87-AFRINICand registrantARPCE. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix (
196.43.240.0/24) with 1 observed neighbour, a ratio consistent with a small, self-contained corporate or government estate rather than a transit or access provider.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant
ARPCEmatches the AS handle and the secondary source identity of the Congolese regulatory authority. - The address inventory consists of a single /24 block, which is a standard allocation size for a small organization's internal network.

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: 432 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.
