Tools for generating IP based Geo-block-ing and Geo-routing tables in
|
|
order to configure the system's firewall and/or routing facilities
|
|
|
|
In general, routing is determined by destination IP addresses, and access
|
|
control by the firewall is established by selectors that can be attrib-
|
|
uted to incoming and outgoing IP packets, like physical interfaces on
|
|
which the packets are going, source and target IP addresses, protocol
|
|
types, port numbers, content types and content, etc. The Geo-location
|
|
would be just another selector, but this information is not carried
|
|
explicitly with IP packets, however, it can be obtained using an IP
|
|
address as a key for looking-up the location in an IP database.
|
|
|
|
Online databases do exist, but these are usually limited to single queries
|
|
and in addition the look-up in an online database is by far too slow for
|
|
even thinking about being utilized at the firewall level, where IP packets
|
|
need to be processed in a microsecond time scale. Therefore, a locally
|
|
maintained Geo-location database is indispensable in the given respect.
|
|
The System's own routing and filtering tables can be configured to do
|
|
these tasks if there is a source of the appropriate data. The ipdbtools(1)
|
|
are designed to provide this data and to assist managing and using it.
