IP Geolocation API Documentation

An Autonomous System (AS) is a collection of connected Internet Protocol (IP) networks, routers, and other network equipment that is administered and operated by a single organization or entity. An AS is defined by a unique number called an Autonomous System Number (ASN), which is assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)....

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a routing protocol used to exchange information between routers on the internet. It enables the internet to function as a network of networks by routing traffic between different autonomous systems (ASes) across the world....

CIDR, or Classless Inter-Domain Routing, is a method used for IP address allocation and routing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.In IPv4 networks, IP addresses are 32-bit numbers represented in dotted decimal notation, such as 192.0.2.0. In CIDR notation, an IPv4 address is followed by a forward slash and a number that indicates the number of leading bits in the IP address that represent the network portion. For example, the CIDR notation 192.0.2.0/24 indicates that the first 24 bits of the IP address represent the network, while the remaining 8 bits represent the host. This allows for more efficient use of IP addresses and more precise routing in large networks....
