PoP Property

The point-of-presence/PoP (pop) property is provided for IP addresses on well-known networks. This information is provided in the IP API and various Netify Data Feed datasets.

Property Information

ID and Tags

A point-of-presence has a unique ID across all PoPs, but the tag is only unique in the context of the underlying network. For example, both the Akamai and Netflix networks have a Toronto PoP tag, but there's only one Toronto PoP on each of those networks.

The internal_tag, if available, is the well-known tag 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 the af-south-1 PoP.
