Abstract

Internet Protocol (IP) geolocation is vital for location-dependent applications and many network research problems. The benefits to applications include enabling content customization, proximal server selection, and management of digital rights based on the location of users, to name a few. The benefits to networking research include providing geographic context useful for several purposes, such as to study the geographic deployment of Internet resources, bind cloud data to a location, and to study censorship and monitoring, among others.
