How to locate the IP address in mtr

Question

While I use mtr to do a network diagnostic(traceroute/ping/etc.) I must copy and paste the IP address to google the real location(like city,region,country)

Can I get the location of the IP address using some database?

Is there any package?

Answer 1

GeoIP database.

Most languages have a wrapper (either 1st- or 3rd-party) so you don't need to work with the DB directly, e.g.

• JavaScript: https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/javascript/

• Python: https://pythonhosted.org/python-geoip/

• Ruby: https://github.com/cjheath/geoip
