Domains

Primary Domains

afrinic.net

Primary Domains are owned and managed by the application vendor.

Platform Domains are often provided by hosting providers, content delivery networks, SaaS platforms and other third parties. It is important to identify these domains for DNS filters and hostname blocklists.

Network Ranges
Some applications are deployed across network blocks. Only networks that are dedicated to an application are provided.

AFRINIC Network

Some organizations deploy all or parts of an application solution through their own infrastructure instead of third party hosting providers like AWS or Google Cloud Platform. The following is a sample of active IP addresses on the AFRINIC Network.

ASN Description	ASN	Route	Location	IP

Core Networks

Applications are sometimes deployed on partner networks, parent company networks, or regional hosting providers. The following is a sample of AFRINIC IP addresses deployed on this type of network.

Network	PoP	Category	Location	IP	Shared
Dimension Data	Core Network	ISP/Telco	South Africa	196.35.230.17

SaaS - Software-as-a-Service

Applications often use various third party platforms for providing authentication, advertising, cybersecurity, e-mail services and more. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms used by AFRINIC are summarized below.

SaaS	# of IPs

WoodyNet	Business	204.61.216.100	2 IPs

Content Delivery Networks - CDNs

In order to get information to end users more quickly, many applications are distributed from multiple geographical points-of-presence (PoPs) using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Each PoP can host many IPs to deliver an application. A sample IP is provided.

Take special note of CDNs that use Anycast technology. Anycast makes it possible to route a single IP address to a variety of different geographic locations. In other words, one global Anycast IP is hosted in multiple geographic locations.
