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.

Core Networks

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

Network	PoP	Category	Location	Route
Google	Core Network	Business	United States	64.233.160.0/24

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.
