Hi everyone, As you may have seen, I have created a few issues regarding the IpLoc module on Github. They have been tagged with the *iploc* label.
For anyone who is not familiar with IP to location services: the goal is to parse the public files from Network Information Centres. These files contain metadata about the IP address ranges that they manage. There is one Network Information Centre per continent. Then, using these parsed files, we can query a Geographical database (such as Geonames) to locate the IP addresses. Finally we create a database that contains a map of IP address ranges and their Latitude/Longitude coordinates. IP location databases are usually costly [1]. They have many purposes, one of which is locating customers that connect to a website. I will try to work on these issues in the following weeks.
