Knowledge Statement:

1. Most of the IP address locations in Whois database is not accurate as ISP never updates IP location and NRI is unable to know the location of IP address being used.

2. Propriety IP geolocation databases with Geofeed namely MaxMind / ipbase / IP2location and etc will test IP location based on technology opinions and IP probes.

3. IP geolocation databases provider will lease this information to IP service providers

4. IP Service provider will then provide accurate information and data to customer based on tagged location
