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: Sharktech traffic often appears as server, VPS, cloud, CDN, transit, or automated infrastructure rather than a residential browser session.
- Detection notes: Match by ASN AS20278. 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.
