Summary
CM Value Added Services
nsp south-africa business
CM-Value-AS is operated by CM Value Added Services (Pty) Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under the netname
ORG-CVAS1-AFRINICfor all announced prefixes, indicating a single corporate estate. - The AS announces 21,504 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 21 observed neighbours. This ratio of moderate address space to a significant number of peering partners suggests a Network Service Provider (NSP) role rather than a pure transit or large-scale residential access network.
- As an NSP in South Africa, the traffic carried includes business connectivity, data center interconnects, and upstream transit for smaller local ISPs or enterprise clients.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes (
196.50.64.0/18,168.253.80.0/20,154.66.200.0/22) are listed as CM Value Added Services (Pty) Ltd, matching the AS holder. - The address inventory consists of three distinct IPv4 blocks of varying sizes, with the largest being a /18 and the smallest a /22, alongside a single /32 IPv6 prefix.

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 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
