| IP Routing Type | Description |
|---|---|

| aol, aolpop, aoldialup, aolproxy | The user is part of the AOL network. AtData can identify the user country in most cases. However, establishing the user location below country is not possible. |
| pop | The user is dialing into a regional ISP (Internet Service Provider) and is likely to be near the IP location. |
| satellite | The user is connecting to the Internet through a consumer satellite or a backbone satellite provider, where no information about the terrestrial connection is available. The user can be anywhere within the beam pattern of the satellite, which can span a continent or more. |
| cache proxy | The user is using a proxy connection, either through an Internet accelerator or a content distribution service. It is possible the user is located in a different country from the IP location. |
| international proxy | The user is connecting through a proxy (not an anonymizer) that routes traffic from multiple countries. It is possible the user is located in a different country from the IP location. |
| regional proxy | The user is connecting through a proxy (not an anonymizer) that routes traffic from multiple states within a single country. It is possible the user is located in a different state from the IP location. |
| corp proxy | The user is connecting through a proxy (not an anonymizer) that routes traffic through edge nodes, or nexus points for traffic entering and exiting a corporate network. |
