<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear DB-WG,<br>
<br>
Some colleagues are working to address the never-ending-story of 'where<br>
the heck are IPs geographically?'. This problem space has been brought<br>
up numerous times in the Database Working Group, but we never managed to<br>
solve it. As with all compsci problems adding a layer of indirection can<br>
help ;-)<br>
<br>
This current draft suggests overloading the RPSL 'remarks:' field with a<br>
structured attribute value, however I suspect we would do ourselves a<br>
disservice to overload a 'remarks:' field.<br>
<br>
Instead it would be better to add a 'geofeed:' attribute to the RPSL<br>
inetnum/inetnum6 class dictionary, which as value contains a URL with<br>
http or https scheme.<br>
<br>
The draft: <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ymbk-opsawg-finding-geofeeds" target="_blank">
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ymbk-opsawg-finding-geofeeds</a><br>
<br>
The value of the attribute could be validated using something like<br>
"org.apache.commons.validator.UrlValidator", the attribute would look<br>
like this, only valid in the inetnum/inet6num:<br>
<br>
"geofeed: [optional] [single] [ ]"<br>
<br>
Example object:<br>
<br>
inetnum: 192.0.2.0 - 192.0.2.255<br>
netname: EXAMPLE<br>
country: NL<br>
geofeed: <a href="https://example.com/geofeed.csv" target="_blank">https://example.com/geofeed.csv</a><br>
... snip ...<br>
source: RIPE<br>
<br>
What do others think?<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Job<br>
<br>
ps. In IRRd v4.2 support for the 'geofeed:' attribute will be added<br>
