IP Address Geolocation Method Based on Network Flow Analysis

摘要

As one of the basic data resources of Internet, IPv4 address is the most important identity for terminal users to access online resources. With the development of modern Internet, more and more intelligent applications need the terminal's geolocation information to supply high quality services. How to locate the geolocation of the source IP address has become a very important topic in Internet research area. Due to the extremely complex network topology of internet service providers (ISP), and the inadequate resources invested by management institutions, there are still some limitations in the traditional IP address geolocation methods. In this paper, based on the growing number of smart terminal users, the network flow analysis method is proposed, GPS features are extracted, and the testing system is established. The results indicate that it is an effective, simple and accurate IP address geolocation method by long time accumulation. In future, it can be promoted to the mobile software company to improve basic data management of Internet.
