What is the best practice (or peoples preferred methods) to update/correct/maintain geolocation data? Do most people start with description field info in route/route6 objects?

Maybe I am not using the magic word?
The magic word is "geofeed"! :-) The format is specified in RFC 8805. Finding and using Geofeed data is described in RFC 9092. Example in the wild: $ whois -h whois.ripe.net 146.75.0.0 | fgrep geofeed: geofeed: https://ip-geolocation.fastly.com/ Another example below, in this instance the geofeed information is stored in a 'remarks:' attribute. Unfortunately this particular RIR does not (yet?) properly support the native RPSL geofeed attribute for IPv6 /48 PI blocks. $ whois -h whois.ripe.net 2001:67c:208c::/48 | grep geofeed remarks: Geofeed https://sobornost.net/geofeed.csv Both approaches work. Kind regards, Job
