Dear Noriyuki, The "covered percentage" value shows how much of the referenced IP space is known in the geoip database (MaxMind's GeoLite City, [1]). This referenced IP space depends on the look-up type: - For a prefix look-up it is the given prefix itself. - For an ASN look-up it is related to the prefixes this ASN originates.
A recent update to the documentation makes it more clear, https://stat.ripe.net/docs/data_api#Geoloc.
