IP Geolocation Datasets

This web page documents our datasets for IP geolocation. Our datasets are available upon request.

Publications

The methods and analysis of the datasets can be found at the paper [1]

Code

We have defined a mapping from latitude and longtitude to color that we find helpful. We encourage others to make use of it, and provide sample implementations in perl and python.

We also provide tools to convert Maxmind data to Fsdb format to make it easier to use for bulk operations. Please use this tool to generate supplemental geolocation data for outage analysis.
