[AusNOG] IP Location showing as Japan

[Elly Tawhai]

Hi Daniel,

Just to elaborate further on the comments which have already been made:

1. The APNIC public records contain the below details in regards to 
103.18.204.0/22

apnic|AU|ipv4|103.18.204.0|1024|20130321|allocated

inetnum:        103.18.204.0 - 103.18.207.255
netname:        GLOVINEPTYLTD-AU
descr:          GloVine Pty Ltd
descr:          PO Box 7133, Richmond Victoria 3121
country:        AU

All geolocation information points to Australia

2. Have checked GeoIP website http://www.maxmind.com, which also points 
IP 103.18.206.70 to Australia eg.

P Address 	Country Code 	Location 	Postal Code 	Coordinates 	ISP 
Organization 	Domain 	Metro Code
103.18.206.70	AU	Australia,
Oceania		-27,
133	GloVine Pty Ltd - Sydney Gaming Network	GloVine Pty Ltd - Sydney 
Gaming Network	glonetwork.com.au	

3. After registration of a game server with http://www.gametracker.com/ 
it appears that the enduser has the ability to change geolocation 
information, overriding the values imported from APNIC.

I hope this information has been of assistance.

Kind regards,
Elly
APNIC
