ABSTRACT
We study the problem of determining the geographic location of an Internet host knowing only its IP address. We have developed three distinct techniques, GeoTrack, GeoPing, and GeoCluster, to address this problem. These techniques exploit information derived from the DNS, network delay measurements, and inter-domain routing. We have evaluated our techniques using extensive and varied datasets.

IMC '04: Proceedings of the 4th ACM SIGCOMM conference on Internet measurementGeolocation of Internet hosts enables a diverse and interesting new class of location-aware applications. Previous measurement-based approaches use reference hosts, called landmarks, with a well-known geographic location to provide the location ...
An investigation of geographic mapping techniques for internet hosts
SIGCOMM '01: Proceedings of the 2001 conference on Applications, technologies, architectures, and protocols for computer communicationsIn 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 class of location-aware applications. This is a challenging problem ...
