A Landmark Calibration Based IP Geolocation Approach

Aiming at the existing IP geolocation approaches does not consider the errors of landmarks, a new geolocation approach utilized landmark calibration is proposed in this paper. At first, by assigning a deviation, the location of the landmark with low reliability is regarded as a possible area, then geolocating the target IP can be converted into a constrained optimization problem, finding the location estimation of target IP by solving this problem, as well as the real deviation of landmark. The algorithm analysis and experimental results show that, when a landmark is not located in its claimed position, our geolocation approach can still give a location for the target IP.
