Domains

Primary Domains

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.

CIRA 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 CIRA Network.

Other Networks

There are tens of thousands of Internet network providers and we make an effort to track as many as we can, but we have less coverage for niche and local providers. The following is a sample of CIRA IP addresses on this type of network.

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 CIRA are summarized below.

SaaS	# of IPs
WoodyNet	2

Service	Category	Sample IP	IP Count
WoodyNet	Business	198.182.167.1	2 IPs

Hosting

Cloud hosting vendors like AWS and Microsoft Azure provide cloud-based computing and network resources to deliver applications. The hosting platforms used by CIRA are summarized below by geographical points-of-presence (PoP). Each PoP can host many IPs to deliver an application.

Cloud Hosts	# of IPs
Gcore	2
Amazon AWS	2
DigitalOcean	6
eStruxture	1

Host	PoP	Location	IPs
eStruxture	Core	Canada	1 IP
Gcore	Johannesburg	South Africa	2 IPs
Amazon AWS	Montreal	Canada	1 IP
Amazon AWS	Dublin	Ireland	1 IP
DigitalOcean	Toronto	Canada	2 IPs
DigitalOcean	Amsterdam	Netherlands	2 IPs
DigitalOcean	London	United Kingdom	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.
