Network positioning has recently been demonstrated to be a viable concept to represent the
network distance relationships among Internet end hosts. Several subsequent studies have …

We propose a new approach to predict Internet network distance called Global Network
Positioning (GNP). This approach models the Internet as a geometric space and …

We present Topology-based Geolocation (TBG), a novel approach to estimating the
geographic location of arbitrary Internet hosts. We motivate our work by showing that 1) …

The lack of adoption of a DNS-based geographic location service as proposed in RFC 1876
has lead to the deployment of alternative ways to locate Internet hosts. The two main …

Determining the physical location of Internet hosts is a critical enabler for many new location-
aware services. In this paper, we present Octant, a novel, comprehensive framework for …

Internet coordinate schemes have been proposed as a method for estimating minimum
round trip time between hosts without direct measurement. In such a scheme, each host is …

The ability to accurately determine the geographic location of an arbitrary IP address has
potential in many applications. Previous methods based on observing the relationship …

In this paper, we consider the problem of how to represent the locations of Internet hosts in a
Cartesian coordinate system to facilitate estimate of the network distance between two …

This study outlines two novel techniques which can be used in the area of IP geolocation.
First we introduce a detailed path-latency model to be able to determine the overall …

In this paper, we ask whether it is possible to build an IP address to geographic location
mapping service for Internet hosts. Such a service would enable a large and interesting …
