The ‘confidence’ value is determined to reflect the overall data quality measure, which may enlighten the IP geolocation quality.
BigDataCloud IP geolocation estimation is an outcome of two almost entirely independent and parallel processes. One is to determine a confidence area where the IP address could be deployed if assigned dynamically and another to collect field evidence data about its actual locations of it. Low Confidence means that it indicates whether at least one of the processes did not come up with a deterministic value or the outcomes were not mutually supportive.
Please note that a low confidence value does not necessarily reflect the IP Geolocation accuracy. It can still be very accurate. However, the medium-high values are likely to indicate a higher accuracy or more reliable IP Geolocation estimation.
