Mapping the Whole Internet

Abstract

This effort developed techniques for building better IP geolocation systems. Geolocation has many applications, such as presenting advertisements for local business establishments on web pages to debugging network performance issues to attributing attack traffic to country of origin. The effort developed a prototype geolocation database called Alidade. Like other geolocation databases, Alidade precomputes location estimates for all of IP space. Alidade, is fundamentally different from previous systems described in the academic literature, however, because it computes predictions for the entire IP address space and does not issue any measurement probes of its own either before or after it is presented with queries.
