Handling Guidance

Log or rate-limit
  • Log by default. Rate-limit or block browser-looking traffic from this network when request volume, path pattern, or behavior indicates automation.
  • Datacenter matches are network-origin signals, not bot identities. Use them with request paths, cadence, user-agent evidence, and customer rules.
  • Browser-looking traffic from cloud, hosting, VPS, CDN, transit, or automated infrastructure should be evaluated as infrastructure-origin traffic rather than automatically treated as a normal residential visitor.

Detection and Behavior

Operational guidance
  • Common traffic pattern: Rackspace traffic often appears as server, VPS, cloud, CDN, transit, or automated infrastructure rather than a residential browser session.
  • Detection notes: Match by ASN AS33070. Combine network identity with user-agent, path, rate, country, and rule outcomes before enforcement.
  • Behavior thresholds: Flag when request volume, identical user-agent reuse, API/feed scraping, login probing, search abuse, or repeated non-human path traversal exceeds normal visitor behavior.
  • Human monitoring relevance: Useful for separating datacenter-origin requests from real human visitor traffic. Agency human monitoring should not classify hosting/cloud requests as normal residential humans without additional signals.
  • Recommended action: Log by default. Rate-limit or block browser-looking traffic from this network when request volume, path pattern, or behavior indicates automation.
