Four questions that sound alike
The figures above answer different questions, and the numbers differ because of it. None of them proves where a particular person or device is.
- Registered in Greece
- The registry (RIPE NCC) lists the holder of the block with country code GR. It says who holds the addresses, not where they are used.
- Geolocated to Greece
- A geolocation database (here DB-IP Lite) estimates that the block is used in Greece. Foreign-registered blocks can be geolocated here, and Greek-registered blocks can be used abroad.
- Announced by a Greek network
- A network whose AS number is registered in Greece originates the route in BGP. The traffic can still be handled elsewhere, for example by a cloud or content network.
- Physically in Greece
- Where the equipment or the person actually is. No public dataset can establish this for an address; only the network operator knows.
Greek networks by announced IPv4 space
AS numbers registered to organisations in Greece, ranked by the IPv4 address space they originate in our copy of the BGP table.
| # | Network | IPv4 addresses | Prefixes (v4 / v6) | IPv6 | RPKI valid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AS6799Ote SA (Hellenic Telecommunications Organisation) | 3,923,456 | 88 / 32 | Announces IPv6 | 97.5% |
| 2 | AS3329Vodafone-panafon Hellenic Telecommunications Company SA | 2,470,912 | 385 / 136 | Announces IPv6 | 99% |
| 3 | AS1241Nova Telecommunications & Media Single Member S.A | 1,257,216 | 70 / 29 | Announces IPv6 | 91.9% |
| 4 | AS25472Nova Telecommunications & Media Single Member S.A | 843,520 | 242 / 36 | Announces IPv6 | 100% |
| 5 | AS5408National Infrastructures for Research and Technology S.A. | 251,904 | 39 / 1 | Announces IPv6 | 85% |
Where Greek IPv4 addresses are estimated to be used
IPv4 addresses that DB-IP Lite places in Greece, summed per region. This is a location estimate for address blocks, usually where the provider's equipment is, not where people live.
| Region | IPv4 addresses (est.) | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Attica | 3,295,461 | 55.5% |
| Central Macedonia | 758,321 | 12.8% |
| Crete | 464,116 | 7.8% |
| West Greece | 287,632 | 4.8% |
| Thessaly | 187,011 | 3.2% |
| Peloponnese | 159,533 | 2.7% |
| East Macedonia and Thrace | 158,519 | 2.7% |
| South Aegean | 148,482 | 2.5% |
| Central Greece | 125,352 | 2.1% |
| North Aegean | 93,448 | 1.6% |
| Epirus | 92,476 | 1.6% |
| West Macedonia | 86,001 | 1.4% |
| Ionian Islands | 77,540 | 1.3% |
| Mount Athos | 256 | 0% |
DB-IP labels Greek regions in English and not always consistently; we map each label to one of the thirteen administrative regions (and Mount Athos) without moving any range. Attica's share reflects where the large providers' central equipment is.
How these numbers are made
Registered space is the sum of IPv4 and IPv6 blocks that the RIPE NCC delegation file lists as allocated or assigned to holders in Greece (country code GR). AS numbers are counted the same way. Announced routes come from APNIC's view of the global BGP table: one collector's view, so a route filtered before it reaches that collector is missing. RPKI status is route origin validation (RFC 6811) of each announced prefix and its origin AS against the validated ROAs published by the five RIRs. Geolocated addresses are the IPv4 ranges DB-IP Lite places in Greece, whoever holds them.
