Original Abstract

IP geolocalisation is finding a position of an IP-enabled node. This position can be longitude or latitude, or any meaningful location such as country, city, street, company, etc. The most popular IP geolocalisation principles are searching in geolocalisation databases, using domain name system, and using communication latency. This paper deals with IP geolocalisation based on communication latency which is converted to geographical distance. In the paper, we propose an improvement of constrain-based IP geolocalisation technique which define a maximum geographical distance between a target with an unknown position and a landmark with a known position. The estimated maximum distance is then used for finding the area where a target is located using multirateration principle. The paper novelty lies in involving the physical cable length in the maximum geographical distance estimation. The physical cable length is identified by investigating the latency caused by intermediate devices.
