[afnog] Blocked or filtered network ?

[Epeli Tagi]

Thanks Frank

Yes it is a bit strange from the Durban trace route, it does not even get out of the network.

Anyway I have just spoken to Vodacom and hopefully they will sort it out.

Hi,

Ok, for those who will get as confused as I did....

the 41.0.x.y and 41.1.x.y and 41.11.x.y are all part of the 41.0.0.0/11
for Vodacom ZA:

afrinic|ZA|ipv4|41.0.0.0|2097152|20071126|allocated


Unfortunately I can't help more.
But at least now you've shown you've done your home work and someone in
Vodacom can have tangible info to work with.

<gut feeling>
I would guess Vodacom used/uses IPs starting '123'.x.y.z for something
internal ( coz it's a cool number: 123.45.67.89 ;-) ) and thus you don't
get far to your home from inside their network....
</gut feeling>

One good approach could be if the person in Durban on 41.11.104.51 can
contact 'their provider' and present the traceroute to samoa.
