Included below are summraies of the current routing of the various AFRINIC-assigned blocks belonging to ORG-LWI1-AFRINIC (LiquidWeb, Inc.) and also ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC (Fiber Grid, Inc.) I am providing these to the AFRINIC community in support of my prior assertion that no part or portion of the AFRINIC-assigned blocks of these two companies are, at present, being routed to any country within the AFRINIC region, nor to any country or countries that are even adjacent to the AFRINIC region.
The routing summaries below were computed based upon raw data specifying the specific ASNs that are routing each of the constituent /24 "C" blocks that make up the totality of the registered AFRINIC blocks currently assigned to ORG-LWI1-AFRINIC and ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC respectively. That raw data was obtained by me, programatically, via the "RESTful" web interface of the RIPEStat data base. The raw data from which the summaries below were computed may obtained via the following two links, or alternatively, directly fronm RIEPStat, for the benefit of anyone wishing to independently confirm my analysis. ORG-LWI1-AFRINIC: https://pastebin.com/raw/rzWSckCs ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC: https://pastebin.com/raw/sgFGNjwH Additionally, the Perl scripts that I have used to fetch the above raw data from RIPEStat, as well as the scripts I have used to compute from that raw data the routing summary tables shown below are all availiable from me upon request. I would be more than happy to have others independently perform the same routing analysis as I have done with respect to the IPv4 space currently assigned to ORG-LWI1-AFRINIC and ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC. The routing summary tables below each contain four fields as follows: 1) Number of constituent /24 "C" blocks routed by the given ASN. 2) The AS number. 3) The applicable two-letter ISO 3166 country code. 4) The full name of the ORGanization to which the ASN is registered. Note that a good deal of the IPv4 space registered to ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC is currently being routed by RIPE-issued ASNs registered to "Inter Connects Inc". Upon information and belief, "Inter Connects Inc" is a Delaware (US) corporate entity for which Mr. Deepak Mehta is either a beneficial owner or else possibly THE beneficial owner. Mr. Mehta is of course free to dispute this contention, as and when he sees fit. Please note however that an entity calling itself "Inter Connects Inc" is also currently represented within the RIPE WHOIS data base where it is designated via the handle ORG-DMF2-RIPE and that the RIPE WHOIS history of that organization handle indicates that it was previously associated with "Deepak Mehta FIE": https://pastebin.com/raw/wnF8g2gh Please note that AS393489, which appears in the second table below, is officially a bogon (unassigned) AS number at present. Prior to the reclamation of this ASN by ARIN, this specific ASN was assigned to a U.S. company named "ADT Systems, Inc." and that company appears to still be using AS393489, even though AS393489 is now officially a bogon ASN. Please take note also that the organization to which the RIPE-issued AS58110 is registered (IP Volume LTD - UK) may or may not have any connection whatsoever to the registrant organization for AS202425 (IP Volume, Inc. - Seychelles) which has for some time announced a route to the stolen AFRINIC legacy block 196.16.0.0/14, said block being the rightful property of the South African national government's IT arm, "SITA", accoring to all reliable historical evidence. The country codes listed in the following two summary tables, if accurate, support my view that the AFRINIC-assigned IPv4 address blocks of both ORG-LWI1-AFRINIC and ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC are likely not, at present, being routed to any geographical points within the AFRINIC region, thus placing both of these AFRINIC member organizations in clear violation of the legally binding AFRINIC Bylaws. This, of course, is in addition to and on top of the fact that both organizations appear to have obtained some or all of their AFRINIC- assigned IPv4 address space illicitly, most probaby by way of the dismissed and disgraced Ernest Byaruhanga.
