Continuing discussion of hosting and data center IP ranges

[blend27]

....Continuing discussion of 13 years of [webmasterworld.com...]

Lets Go!

So I have been playing with some 1,356,094 IPV4 rows of IPINFO.IO data(last month snapshot), Free addition.

Data is /24 fragmented like there was no NewYears this time around. Mil and a third seems to be accurate as far as I can tell.

With a large list of AS Numbers I have collected over the years that belong to Cloud/Hosting/Colocation that caused troubles in the past I was able to split that large .CSV into 3 "naive" MSSQL Server tables holding data that can be used in SQL Queries once per Session Request at the beginning.

1,356,094 rows sits as a BASE Ranges data, properly indexed-views lockups are less that 0.2s.

Once range is determined that one particular row of IP Data is moved into another sub-main table which get to be question first for the concurrent visitors from the same range.

In other words:

> 
ip lookup >> in sub-main table >>> 
if found = good, use that data.
if not found look up in BASE Ranges data >>> insert row into sub-main table for later use.

I am on a North American continent.. so out of 1,356,094 rows Me Only tenders to certain countries to access the sites I manage. Some sites on a North American continent, some coupled with South American Continent, some coupled with "preferred" EU IP ranges. Some sites run Home brewed Captcha for some Central Asia rangers when it makes sense.

There is also ip2Location and FTP IP data from major sources, that is used as well for compartment.

But above all that are HTTP Headers logic witch pretty much stops 1/3 of unwanted traffic before it even gets to IP Data. Logging Headers data from legitimated devices(i think they are but not sometimes or always) and writing code to confront "maybe not" wanted is a task of its own.

But it is fun...
