Platform GeoIP: measured facts (plan 1, task 1)
Measured 2026-10-06 on DOCS-T1 against dbip-city-lite-2026-10.mmdb, downloaded from https://download.db-ip.com/free/dbip-city-lite-2026-10.mmdb.gz with maxminddb-golang v1.13.1.
| Fact | Value | |---|---| | database_type | DBIP-City-Lite | | build_epoch | 2026-10-01 01:41:21 UTC | | File size (uncompressed) | 126,998,165 bytes (121 MiB) | | node_count / record size / IP version | 14,297,794 / 28 / 6 | | Verify() | 5.4 s; peak anonymous RSS 47 MiB, file-backed RSS 124 MiB; 3.4 GiB allocated in total (GC churn, not resident) | | Lookup (decode country, subdivisions, location) | ~1.4 µs each, single goroutine (1M random IPv4 lookups in 1.44 s) | | Subdivision ISO codes | absent. subdivisions[0] carries names only (e.g. "California", "Leinster") | | location.accuracy_radius | absent |
Country probe (spec §4.1 step 4):
| Address | Country | Subdivision name | Location | |---|---|---|---| | 8.8.8.8 | US | California | 37.42, -122.08 | | 1.1.1.1 | AU | New South Wales | -33.87, 151.21 | | 9.9.9.9 | US | California | 37.88, -122.27 | | 208.67.222.222 | US | California | 37.41, -121.95 | | 2001:4860:4860::8888 | CA | Quebec | 45.50, -73.57 |
All five resolve, so the "at least three of five" rule passes with margin.
GeoLite2 City was not measured: it needs a MaxMind account. The repo's MaxMind test fixtures (internal/geo/testdata/GeoIP2-City-Test.mmdb) carry subdivision ISO codes, which is the shape GeoLite2 City shares.
The repo's test fixtures (internal/geo/testdata)
None of them contain the five production probe addresses, so publish-path tests must override the probe list (a package variable). Addresses that do resolve:
| Address | City-Test country / subdivision ISO / location | Country-Test | ipv4-24 | |---|---|---|---| | 81.2.69.142 | GB / ENG / 51.51, -0.09 | GB | no country | | 216.160.83.56 | US / WA / 47.25, -122.31 | US | no country | | 2.125.160.216 | GB / ENG / 51.75, -1.25 | GB | no country | | 89.160.20.112 | SE / E / 58.42, 15.62 | SE | no country | | 2001:218::1 | JP / (none) / 35.69, 139.75 | JP | IPv6 lookup error | | 67.43.156.1 | BT / (none) / 27.50, 90.50 | BT | no country |
Types: GeoIP2-City (1,547 nodes), GeoIP2-Country (1,704 nodes), Test (163 nodes, IPv4 only, no country data: the "refuse a database with no country data" case). All three build_epoch 2026-02-04.
Outstanding
- GeoLite2 City has not been measured (spec §17, Astra plan R1-22). - Downloading it needs a MaxMind account and licence key, which this session does not have. - Before the first GeoLite2 publish (or plan 2's feed), measure its size,
Verifymemory, subdivision ISO codes, and the five probe addresses. Record them here.
