What a Osaka IP address tells you
Osaka runs six exchanges in PeeringDB, and three of them hold almost all the participants. BBIX Osaka lists 128, JPIX OSAKA 111 and JPNAP Osaka 99, while Equinix Osaka has 26, MegaIX Osaka four and NSPIXP3 three. Colocation adds 198 network presences over 16 facilities, concentrated in Equinix OS1 at 70 networks and NTT DATA Dojima (building #4) at 47, with Equinix OS3 at 23 and the two NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS Telepark Dojima sites at 14 and 10.
No Japanese mobile operator appears in the carrier registry entries for Osaka, so this data cannot tell you which mobile network peers in the city. JPIX OSAKA and JPNAP Osaka each record one carrier ASN among their participants and the other four exchanges record none. An address that geolocates to Osaka therefore describes where an operator filed the block, and a single registry record can cover addresses announced from several sites.
Mobile traffic leaves through a small number of gateways, which is why a subscriber in one part of the country can present an Osaka address, and geolocation databases follow whatever location the operator publishes. Reading the origin ASN and the netname on the exact prefix says more than the city label does. Compare that ASN against the 371 peering records and 198 facility presences listed here to see whether the network actually appears in Osaka.
Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Osaka?
Six appear in PeeringDB. BBIX Osaka has 128 participants, JPIX OSAKA 111 and JPNAP Osaka 99, which together account for most of the city's peering. Equinix Osaka has 26 participants, MegaIX Osaka four and NSPIXP3 three.
Do Japanese mobile carriers peer in Osaka?
The carrier registry holds no Japanese mobile operator ASNs, so no mobile network can be matched to an Osaka exchange from this data. JPIX OSAKA and JPNAP Osaka each list one carrier ASN, and this data does not name the operator behind either one.
Does an IP that geolocates to Osaka mean the device is there?
Not on its own. The city label comes from the location an operator published for the address block, and the same block can be announced from another facility. Osaka records 16 facilities and 198 network presences, so the address points at an operator rather than a street.
