Towards global network positioning

Published:01 November 2001Publication History

ABSTRACT

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 distributedly computes geometric coordinates to characterize the positions of hosts in the Internet. By conducting Internet experiments, we show that the geometric distances implied by the GNP hosts coordinates can accurately predict the Internet network distances.
