Summary
Posix Systems (Pty) Ltd
hosting legacy
Posix Systems (Pty) Ltd is a small South African internet company, registered with AFRINIC and long associated with Mark Elkins, a fixture of the South African internet and DNS community.
What it's used for
- Hosting, DNS and connectivity services for a modest South African customer base.
- It announces roughly a dozen prefixes, effectively all of them inside a
192.96.24.0/21registered to the company, plus an IPv6/32.
Notable
- A hosting/service-provider network at boutique scale — a few thousand addresses in total, run by a small independent operator rather than a national carrier.
- The address space is AFRINIC-registered and South African (
ZA), so despite the low AS number this is an African, not a North American, network today.
Interesting
- Posix Systems' proprietor has been active in ZA internet governance for decades, and the company's long-running presence in AFRINIC's registry reflects that continuity rather than a large network.
