GeoLocation
Make GeoLocation more accurate and efficient:
There are large IP address ranges reserved for private networks and therefore have no geo-location.
These addresses show up a fair amount in network traces. The GeoLocation service simply returns 404.
Instead, detect and short-circuit those addresses. Simply return: "Local/Private Network"
Linux on Windows
Linux on Windows communicates with a socket using AF_HYPERV (34) and size = 16.
Copy the 12 bytes into an IPv6 address and set the port=34 as a tag.
Also, extend the translation from port numbers to service names (ie. :443 => HTTPS, etc.).
