How can we help you?

AFRINIC supports adding the Geofeed link using the "remark" attribute of your inetnum objects.

No, The AFRINIC Whois database does not support the Geofeed attribute; however, you can use the "remark" attribute to publish your Geofeed link.

For parent IP resource blocks allocated or assigned to you by AFRINIC, send a request with the Geofeed link to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The AFRINIC team will support and add it to the objects. These inetnum objects will have one of the following statuses: ALLOCATED PA, ASSIGNED PI, or SUB-ALLOCATED PA.

For assignments that you have created for your resources (status ASSIGNED PA), you can add your Geofeed link in the "remarks" section by editing the resource assignment in MyAFRINIC or using the web interface at AFRINIC Whois.

Geofeed is a mechanism used to associate geographic information (latitude and longitude) with IP address blocks. The purpose of Geofeed in the WHOIS database is to provide a way for network operators to publish geolocation data about their IP address blocks and this information is useful in various services and applications that rely on geolocation, some of the use cases include content delivery networks, online services that enforce geographic restrictions, and other security applications.
