Who know the "http-analyze"?

http-analyze

HI, if you know "http-analyze"(www.http-analyze.org), please give me help, thanks.

A. Why it can't find which country some IP come from?
B. What is the "Network"?
C. Why sometimes the number of pageview is little than the number of session at the same timeslice?

"Network" and "Non-Profit Organisation" are their way of being very lazy in how they work out the country - they are doing it by extension, or at least that's what their sample report suggests.

e.g.

If my rDNS name has a .org ending I'm clearly a "non-profit organisation", if I'm a .net then clearly I'm a "network" and if I'm a .com then I'm clearly a "us commercial".

Lots of website stats packages work this way (inc. Analog) - I'd rather see them use one of the free IP geo-mapping tools if we are honest as this would reflect the actual countries far better.

Failing that I seem to remember each of the registrars provide a list of the countries their IPs have been assigned to, so someone could just build up a half-decent geo database from that data and then fill the gaps using the domain TLD method.

Why can't they find the countries for some requests? Well whatever method you use there will always be gaps in your coverage, in this case those gaps are caused by either not knowing the extension or by not being able to resolve the IP to a name.
