Abstract

Distributed computing, comprised of different components of an application located on different computers connected via network, has allowed value added services to provide enhanced user experience. Offering information based on geographic location of users of a distributed system is one of the newest and most notable advancements. Internet is the biggest distributed system present today, and finding the geographical location of the user on the Internet, commonly referred to as geolocation, is one of the challenging problems currently addressed by the research community. Of the two commonly used approaches, repository-based and measurement-based, this chapter primarily focuses on geolocating Internet hosts using the measurement-based approach. A measurement-based geolocation approach is based on the latency measurements between the distributed Internet nodes. Thus, this chapter conducts a systematic analysis of latency measurements between the Internet nodes. This chapter recognizes the importance of geolocation in distributed computing. As a result, it also presents a comparative study of existing repository-based and measurement-based geolocation approaches.
