Dear Ioannis, Can you circulate this request on your IFIP mailing list thanks a lot serge
-------------------------------------------------------- Dear colleague, We are developping the GeoLIM project (http://planetlab-01.ipv6.lip6.fr:10000/cbg.php) http://planetlab-01.ipv6.lip6.fr:10000/cbg.php)%A0 that aims at providing the geographic location of an Internet host 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. We're seeking your help, looking for various types of network access, as for instance, with the same IP adress, estimate your location when you access the internet through a low or high-speed line (telephone or DSL/LAN). We ask you to test the geolocation solution through the above web page. This will take you no more than 3 minutes! Just Click on http://planetlab-01.ipv6.lip6.fr:10000/cbg.php We're also looking for more Landmark nodes (nodes used to provide the coordinates of the system, therefore, we need to be able to ping a host whose location is known). We'll be glad if you could provide us with such a host. Do not hesitate to distribute this mail to colleagues interested. The test is carried out on Planetlab (http://www.planet-lab.org/). We thank you for your contribution.
