Re: [100attendees] Incorrect GeoIP for IETF network addresses

Darshak,
	This is a sadly complicated issue. There is no geolocation standard, so it’s a matter of trying to update the various organizations that provide geolocation services. We work closely with Google, and  try to work with SkyHook (the geolocation that Apple uses for BSSID based location) and MaxMind (a common location provider). Unfortunately, these are a bit hit or miss, as they’re not really setup for a non-trivial network to move around the world. We continue to work on it, and are always open to help, if anyone has suggestions. 

	BTW: In terms of google maps, it “works for me” on my Mac using Safari right now. Swing by the NOC in Indiana if you get the chance so we can try to understand the differences in results. Thanks!

	-Jim

I’ve been seeing this behavior for the past few IETF’s where on google maps (or on bing maps for that matter) in a browser, when I allow geo-location (while connected to the IETF* networks) it always resolves to the previous IETF venue. So today when I click “Your location” button on google maps, it shows that I’m at Hilton Prague and when I was in Prague, it showed me Chicago (and so on)
