Enhancing Location Based IP Services
2013
This document describes IP-LOC, a proposed extension to IPv6 header
which suggests adding optional geo-location field, in order to enhance
existing geo-location based IP service as well as adding new ones. The
current method of determining geo-location of IP traffic is through
RIR (Regional Internet Registry) database, this information is not
very accurate as it depends on how the ISP registers its IP subnets,
that is normally done in a country/city format. It also assumes that
in the future, GPS capability could be added to the router itself
(just like smart phones) and packet marking and classification based
on geo-location will be required. QoS, firewall and routing based on
geo-location might also be required in the future when mobile routers
move from one geo-location to another, which has a different policy.
