So is this service available out there ?
Do you know of any service or database that will provide a relationship between Class C and major geographical regions?
Anything public ?
This is the closest thing I've found: http://ipindex.dragonstar.net/index.html http://ipindex.dragonstar.net/c/indexc.html Lucy E.

Ahh. I thought you wanted granularity and accuracy:-). Sorry. -- Rodney Joffe CenterGate Research Group, LLC. http://www.centergate.com "Technology so advanced, even we don't understand it!"(SM)
Heh... No, I am interested in granularity and accuracy... However, this is the overview type of data I was looking for.... Humor noted! :) Rodney Joffe wrote:

This is the holy grail of Advertising Knowledge on the Internet, is non-trivial*, and many people claim to have the answer. *VPNs *NAT *Most ISPs have large nets (/8, /16) and assign randomly (and change arbitrarily) *AOL (12 egress points for their entire 40M user base, no mapping). Many have tried to map the net (I believe MERIT has links) with nothing better than 50% relevance at the time of the mapping effort. As we all know things change. There is a group who believe there is a solution ;-) Probably 6 months away... -- Rodney Joffe CenterGate Research Group, LLC. http://www.centergate.com "Technology so advanced, even we don't understand it!"(SM)

we used to be able to get it at least 70-80% right back in the mid-80's :-) dave

You might want to take a look at http://www.akamai.com/html/sv/edse.html I don't know anything more about this service other than what it says on the Web pages, but from that it would seem to be what you are looking for. They claim to be able to tell you: Country from which user is accessing site Geographic region within that country (i.e., state or province) Name of user's origin network User connection type: dial-up, DSL, ISDN or cable Also, I can see how you could do the first three items, but I am at a loss on how one could do the last item with any accuracy. Any guesses? -Jeff At 5:09 PM -0500 9/7/00, Rick Irving wrote:

Umm.. Take the IP address, look for a PTR entry, and apply a regexp for 'ADSL|ISDN|DIALUP' -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech ?
