Implementation Guide
1. Fetch Data
Retrieve our geofeed file via HTTPS using standard HTTP clients or automated scripts.
GET /geofeed.txt 2. Parse CSV
Process the CSV format data with standard parsers, respecting the field order and encoding.
3. Validate
Verify network prefixes and validate against RPKI records for enhanced security.
Best Practices
Caching Strategy
Cache the geofeed data for up to 24 hours. Check HTTP cache headers and implement proper cache invalidation on updates.
Error Handling
Implement fallback mechanisms for network failures. Maintain a local cache of the last known good configuration.
Update Frequency
Poll for updates no more than once per hour during normal operations. Respect rate limits and implement exponential backoff on errors.
