About Ooredoo Algeria

The registry records one ASN for Ooredoo Algeria, AS33779, held by Wataniya Telecom Algérie and documented in a mobile role. At the last probe it was announced and carried 92 IPv4 prefixes against 2 IPv6 prefixes, so almost all of its routed address space is IPv4. PeeringDB lists the network as Wataniya Telecom Algerie, also known as Ooredoo Algerie, with ooredoo.dz as its website and a network type of Cable/DSL/ISP. The registry lists 4G LTE and 5G among the generations the operator runs.

An address whose origin ASN is AS33779 is routed by Ooredoo Algeria, and the registry documents that ASN as the mobile network, so mobile traffic from this operator originates there. The PeeringDB type of Cable/DSL/ISP describes the whole network rather than any single prefix, so an individual address in AS33779 can still be fixed or enterprise. No second Ooredoo Algeria ASN is on record, so origin ASN separates this operator from Djezzy and Mobilis but not one Ooredoo product from another.
