• obtain one or more pieces of IP address geographic coordinate data for the IP address based at least in part on the IP address;
• determine geographic coordinates corresponding to the IP address based at least in part on the one or more pieces of IP address geographic coordinate data;
• determine an IP address field comprising a set of one or more IP addresses based is at least in part on the geographic coordinates corresponding to the IP address;
• and
• determine a location corresponding to the IP address field;
• and
• one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions.
