Dear DB-WG, Some colleagues are working to address the never-ending-story of 'where the heck are IPs geographically?'. This problem space has been brought up numerous times in the Database Working Group, but we never managed to solve it. As with all compsci problems adding a layer of indirection can help ;-) This current draft suggests overloading the RPSL 'remarks:' field with a structured attribute value, however I suspect we would do ourselves a disservice to overload a 'remarks:' field. Instead it would be better to add a 'geofeed:' attribute to the RPSL inetnum/inetnum6 class dictionary, which as value contains a URL with http or https scheme. The draft: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ymbk-opsawg-finding-geofeeds The value of the attribute could be validated using something like "org.apache.commons.validator.UrlValidator", the attribute would look like this, only valid in the inetnum/inet6num: "geofeed: [optional] [single] [ ]" Example object: inetnum: 192.0.2.0 - 192.0.2.255 netname: EXAMPLE country: NL geofeed: https://example.com/geofeed.csv ... snip ... source: RIPE What do others think? Kind regards, Job ps. In IRRd v4.2 support for the 'geofeed:' attribute will be added https://github.com/irrdnet/irrd/issues/396
