PoP Object

Object Information

ID and Internal Tag

You can identify a Point-of-Presence (PoP) by ID number (e.g. 95) only. The internal_tag, if available, is the well-known tag that is sometimes used by network providers. For example, af-south-1 is the official zone identifier for Amazon AWS in Cape Town, South Africa.

Label

The label is the name an end user would typically use to identify the Point-of-Presence. Where possible, the label is the standard used by the network provider. For example, Africa (Cape Town) is Amazon AWS' official name for af-south-1 PoP.

Geolocation

The geolocation object provides geographic information on the point of presence. Please note: the latitude and longitude data comes from the Geoname ID for the city location, not the physical location of the data center or network exchange.

Network

The network JSON data provides basic information about the organization that owns the network. Please see the network object documentation for details.

Note: the network object is not shown when the object is part of a network specific endpoint. For example, when the network stats for the 20+ PoPs for Amazon AWS are requested, the 20+ PoPs will not provide Amazon AWS information -- that's a wee bit redundant.

CIDR List

The CIDR list provides the IPv4 and IPv6 networks in this PoP.
