RFC 8805

Publish a geofeed your providers can actually read

Host an RFC 8805 geofeed for your ASNs at a stable URL. Import your announced prefixes, set their locations, and let Google, MaxMind and the rest poll one file.

$ whois -h whois.ripe.net AS269657 | grep geofeed

  • IPv4 or IPv6 prefix in CIDR notation

  • The stable part of your feed URLs. It is public by design and cannot be changed — the URLs built from it are pasted into third-party WHOIS objects.

  • Paste this URL into the geofeed: attribute of the inetnum objects covering your prefixes. It is generated live — there is nothing to publish.

  • IPv4 or IPv6 in CIDR notation.
