LACNIC IP Geolocation (LAC-2018-3 Policy)

Since LAC-2018-3 was approved, every day LACNIC publishes a list of the assignments and sub-assignments made in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean including the country and city of each organization receiving resources.
This list can be downloaded from the following links:

The files are published in the following format:

  • aut-num: shows the Autonomous System Number that has been assigned.
  • inetnum: shows the IPv4 address block that has been assigned, along with its prefix. Example: 123.234.123/24
  • inet6num: shows the IPv6 address block that has been assigned, along with its prefix. Example: 2801:1b8::/44
  • city: shows the city where the organization that received the block is located.
  • country: shows the country where the organization that received the block is located.
  • created: shows the date on which the record for the block was created.
  • changed: shows the date on which the record for the block was modified.
  • status: shows the type of IPv4 or IPv6 assignment.
    • There are four possible status values:
      • allocated: direct assignment by LACNIC to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) member organization
      • reallocated: sub-assignment by an ISP member organization to one of their clients
      • assigned: direct assignment by LACNIC to an End User (banks, governments, universities)
      • reassigned: sub-assignment by an End User to one of their subsidiaries
