Sometime on Jun 18, Rony assembled some asciibets to say:
My query is that how do they find out the area _within_ the city of your ip address? What does the number value immediately after Bombay indicate? Triband users try it out.
Trying to figure out that myself. That number is 16 in my case. The city changes with time, but the number is the same.
It indicates where your ISP is. Not where you are. Whois information on your IP will generally provide that info.
Yeah. It indicates where my ISPs rouiter is. Last night it was a different city, and today it is Bombay.
This seems to be normal stuff, but what strikes me the most is that it is able to see my private IP.
