IP Geolocation in Metropolitan Area Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Existing techniques can geolocate an IP address to a metropolitan area. Through simulation, we evaluate the performance of these existing techniques within a metropolitan area network. We identify differences between metropolitan area networks and the wide area network. We describe and evaluate new techniques which are designed specifically for use on metropolitan area networks. We present Hop-Based Geolocation, a geolocation technique that is effective under certain network topologies when ping latencies are dominated by processing delay rather than propagation delay. We show that geolocation techniques based only on ping latencies and traceroute paths are not yet precise enough for their intended applications.

متن کاملIP Geolocation with Two-tiered Neural Networks
The ability to accurately determine the geographic location of an arbitrary IP address has potential in many applications. Previous methods that are based on observing the relationship between network delay and physical distance are inaccurate. Methods based on delay similarity are more accurate but inefficient because they require information on a large number of landmark nodes near the destin...

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 propagation delays along the network paths more accurately. The knowledge of accurate propagation delay values then leads to more precise geographic distance estimation between hosts and measurement nodes. Besides these di...
