RFC 8805

Geofeed generator

Map your IP prefixes to locations, then publish the CSV so geolocation providers place your addresses where they actually are.





Add a prefix to get started


How to publish this file
  1. Host the file at a stable HTTPS URL you control and serve it as text/csv — for example https://example.com/geofeed.csv.
  2. Point your RIR record at it. At ARIN, add a Geofeed: remark to the comments of each covering net or Org; RIPE and APNIC use a geofeed: attribute. Providers discover the file from that record, not from a web page.
  3. One line per prefix. Keep prefixes at the network address and avoid contradictory overlapping entries — the most specific match wins.
  4. Update the file when addresses move. Most providers re-read it on their own schedule, from days to weeks.
  5. Postal codes are allowed but rarely used, and they narrow the location more than most networks intend. Blank is a fine answer.
