This document records a format whereby a network operator can publish
a mapping of IP address prefixes to simplified geolocation
information, colloquially termed a "geolocation feed". Interested
parties can poll and parse these feeds to update or merge with other
geolocation data sources and procedures. This format intentionally
only allows specifying coarse-level location.
Some technical organizations operating networks that move from one
conference location to the next have already experimentally published
small geolocation feeds.
This document describes a currently deployed format. At least one
consumer (Google) has incorporated these feeds into a geolocation
data pipeline, and a significant number of ISPs are using it to
inform them where their prefixes should be geolocated.
