What a Davao IP address tells you
Davao is a small entry in PeeringDB on both counts. GetaFIX Davao is the only exchange, with 6 participants, and three facilities hold 10 network records between them: STT Davao (Formerly DV1) with 7, VITRO Davao with 3 and a second STT Davao entry with none. Colocation slightly outweighs exchange membership, but neither number is large, so most networks serving the city reach it over transit from elsewhere. No carrier ASN is flagged at the exchange, and the registry names no mobile operators for the Philippines.
An address that geolocates to Davao may not be a device in Davao. Operators announce address blocks from a registry record, and that record names one city for a range the network can use across its footprint. Mobile traffic leaves through a small number of gateways, often nowhere near the subscriber, so a handset elsewhere in the country can appear behind an address filed to Davao. Geolocation databases follow the operator's own published location, so they reproduce the filing rather than measure anything.
The origin ASN and the netname on the specific prefix carry the useful detail. The origin ASN names the network announcing the block, and the netname usually shows whether the range is a mobile pool or a hosting allocation. With 6 participants at GetaFIX Davao and 10 network records across the city's facilities, an address labelled Davao is more likely to be routed from a larger site than to sit on local infrastructure, and only the prefix data will tell you which.
Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Davao?
One. GetaFIX Davao, listed as GetaFIX Davao - Philippines, with 6 participants. Alongside it PeeringDB records three facilities: STT Davao (Formerly DV1) with 7 networks, VITRO Davao with 3, and a second STT Davao entry with none.
Do Philippine mobile carriers peer in Davao?
No carrier ASN is flagged at GetaFIX Davao, and the dataset names no mobile operators for the Philippines. Carrier peering in Davao cannot be confirmed from this registry, and with 6 participants the exchange is small enough that most carrier traffic likely arrives over transit.
Does an IP that geolocates to Davao mean the device is there?
No. The city label comes from the operator's registry record for the address block, and geolocation databases copy it. Given how few networks the registry records in Davao, an address filed to the city is often routed through equipment somewhere else entirely.
