Geographic Location of Internet Hosts with Multilateration (GeoLIM) Project
GeoLIM project aims at providing the geographic location of an Internet
using solely its IP address. The key element of GeoLIM is its ability to
transform delay measurements between landmarks (probe machines) and a target
host, into geographic distance constraints. It uses multilateration -alike
GPS- to estimate the geographic location of the target host.
Your machine must accept ping measurements.
Had an interesting dicussion in a LNotes list the day of September 12th attacks on the 'World' Trade towers (my point is made again) where some of the people on the list couldn't believe there were contributors who lived outside the USA. Very very insular folks them USA people.
