Just a quick note that this document is being advanced for publication as an
Independent Stream [1] RFC. That means it is not getting IETF review or
consensus and will not be an IETF RFC or any kind of standard. 

 

It is important to recognise that not all RFCs are IETF RFCs. Publication on
the Independent Stream is a way to produce RFCs that describe proprietary
protocols, provide commentary on IETF work, or offer contrary opinions.
While the Independent Stream RFCs are held to the same editorial standards
as other RFCs, their technical content is not subject to the same level of
scrutiny.

 

Reviews of drafts on the Independent Stream are always welcome. You can send
comments and thoughts direct to the authors or to me as Independent
Submissions Editor via rfc-...@rfc-editor.org
 .

 

Thanks,

Adrian

Google also has a portal where you can provide a link to a self-published csv 
geofeed, which is used for some but not all products served from their CDN 
infrastructure.

https://isp.google.com/geo_feed/

They're also working on getting the format standardised in the IETF. I applaud 
this, because less badly guessed geoip data and more reliably self-published 
data is better:

$DAY_JOB previously had a case. Were it was necessary to contact Akamai.
Because they have their own database.

No, we don't own the IPs, we lease them. We have no access to the whois
data, and have other blocks that we've had no issues with, so certainly not
that.  Also using whois would be odd, as people often have large blocks,
and don't subdivide them in whois to say where each block is located.

Did you update the info in the Whois at the RIR ? Sometimes they pull from this 
in my experience.

GEO IP Updates

[Colin Legendre]

Hi,

We've leased some new IP blocks, but are having issues with customers
complaining they can't access some Geo Restricted content.

We updated all the GEO IP databases we can think of.. but are still having
issues...

2 services people have complained about are...

Crave TV
Amazon Prime

We are located in Canada as are all our clients, and they are getting
notices that they are located in the US.

We updated... Maxmind, DB-IP, IP Info, IP Geolocation, IPHub. IP2location

Any others we should update?
