Abstract

The ability to accurately determine the geographic location of an arbitrary IP address has potential in many applications. This paper presented a novel algorithm for IP geolocating based on network measurement. Considering the features of China Internet's distribution, using trace route tools, we build database about the routing path to landmarks. Based on the database, this paper introduced GeoPath to geolocate a target quickly by path similarity. A set of landmarks with known location were tested by the proposed method and experimental results demonstrate that the method is validity and practical.
