Summary
Seychelles Internet Exchange Point Association
ix peering seychelles
The AS handle SEY-IX-PEERING is held by Seychelles Internet Exchange Point Association.
What it's used for
- The space carries the association's peering infrastructure, identified by the netname
ORG-SA66-AFRINICand the registrantSEYCHELLES INTERNET EXCHANGE POINT ASSOCIATION. - The inventory consists of 256 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix (
196.49.11.0/24) with 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, focused exchange point rather than a transit or access network. - Traffic from this AS represents interconnection and peering sessions for local networks within the Seychelles island group, facilitating direct data exchange between operators and institutions on Mahé.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant matches the AS holder exactly, confirming direct ownership of the address space.
- The address inventory is a single /24 block, typical for a national internet exchange point requiring minimal address space for its route servers and peering fabric.

Spamhaus DROP
On Spamhaus ASN-DROP Spamhaus lists this entire
network (associated domain seyix.sc)
as controlled by, or hijacked for, cybercrime. Many operators null-route
everything it originates.
1 DROP match Announced space overlapping the DROP prefix list.
| Announced | DROP entry | Record |
|---|---|---|
| 196.49.11.0/24 | 196.49.11.0/24 | SBL675329 |
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.
