<ReleaseNote date="2023-12-07" title="Anycast flag releasing soon for GeoIP web services and databases">

We’re adding a flag to identify Anycast networks in our GeoIP geolocation
databases to help identify instances where we might not provide geolocation for
a particular IP address due to Anycast routing.

Most home and office networks rely on Unicast routing, where every node on the
network is assigned a unique IP address. Anycast routing allows multiple servers
to share the same IP address.

_GeoIP web services_ The Anycast flag will be available in all GeoIP web
services by the end of December. For GeoIP web service users this will be a
non-breaking change.

We will post a new release note once the Anycast data point is available.

_GeoIP databases_ The Anycast flag will have a staggered release for GeoIP
geolocation database users. The Anycast flag will be released for MMDB users by
the end of December, at the same that the flag is available in the GeoIP web
services. The flag is a non-breaking change for MMDB format database users.

The Anycast flag will be released in CSV format databases in mid-January, 2023.
In most cases, the addition of a new field to CSV databases should also be a
non-breaking change, but you should check your integration to make sure that the
it can accomodate the addition of new fields.

The field will be present in the following GeoIP databases:

- GeoIP Country database
- GeoIP City database
- GeoIP Enterprise database

_GeoLite databases_ The Anycast field will also be added to the CSV version of
GeoLite geolocation databases, but the new field will be blank. This will allow
the GeoIP databases to continue to be drag-and-drop replacements for GeoLite
databases, so that it's easy to upgrade. The field will be present in the
following GeoLite databases:

- GeoLite Country database
- GeoLite City database

_Preparing for updated CSV format databases_ MMDB format databases will be able
to access the new data through our client APIs. If you are a CSV user, the
following details may be helpful in preparing your integration for the new data.

- If you're not sure whether you're using the MMDB format, the CSV format, or
both, you can
[learn how to check your account's database download history to determine whether you are downloading CSV files on our Knowledge Base.](https://support.maxmind.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407114914843)

- The new field will be added to the Blocks CSV files:
`{GeoIP2,GeoLite2}-{Enterprise,City,Country}-Blocks-IPv4.csv` and
`{GeoIP2,GeoLite2}-{Enterprise,City,Country}-Blocks-IPv6.csv`
- The new field name will be `is_anycast`, will be added to the right of
existing fields, and the cell will either contain 1 (if the network is an
Anycast network) or be blank (if it is not). The overwhelming majority of
networks are not Anycast, and so this field will be blank in most cases.
