In this document we propose a family of protocols and addressing
methods to integrate GPS into the Internet Protocol to enable the
creation of location dependent services. 

IANA Note: This document describes a possible experiment with
geographic addresses.  It uses several specific IP addresses and
domain names in the discussion as concrete examples to aid in
understanding the concepts.  Please note that these addresses and
names are not registered, assigned, allocated, or delegated to the use
suggested here.
