The Syrian IPv4 address space is very small, at least according to Ripe.net. There were only two major entities and 3 address ranges that were being reported in Ripe's allocation file (early June 2006). Below is the base report followed by more information on Syrian government websites and pertinent records of ARIN about Syria that I could find:
| Syrian Computer Society (SCS-Net) | 88.86.0.0-88.86.31.255 213.178.224.0-213.178.255.255 |
| Syrian Telecommunications Est (STE) | 82.137.192.0-82.137.255.255 |
Below is a summary of further information related to some ARIN entries and Syrian government websites:
