Re: [ncc-services-wg] IP geolocation services

The importance of geolocation wrt many end-user-services is well understood, but you're missing the point. Geolocation is not an attribute in the RIRs DBs, nor can the RIRs be held responsible for 3rd parties use of the data for unintended purposes. The country-attribute may say something about the location of the LIRs administrative HQ, but nothing prevents a particular prefix from being used somewhere else, or even across many different countries world-wide. What you're asking for would require new policies that place specific requirements on LIRs to register and maintain inetnum-objects for subnets consistent with national borders. //per
