Not sure what that means, but...
but I have a question I want to throw out there: Do you think IPv6 geolocatoin (GeoIP) will ever be viable?
To me it seems like an easier problem to solve than IPv4. There's no historical assignment swamp. Subnets are of fixed size. Many/most organisations who receive a direct assignment will never need a second.
If so, when do you think this will happen?
As soon as enough people using geo-located services start doing so over v6. Joe
