RESUMO

By knowing the hostâs geographic location, one can offer several user tailored applications, such as: a) web pages with regional preferences (e.g. an online user may receive selective and directed advertising according to her location or be subject to automatic language selection when displaying content); b) control data availability, according to user geographic location (e.g. the system can dany access to some specific set of data based on regional policies); c) study and analyse geolocated traffic to understand who talks to whom at the level of users, regions and countries and identify routing anomalies. The commom aspects among these applications are that their reliance on strategies, called geolocation methods. Nonetheless, many of the existing strategies for geolocation present incomplete, low accuracy or unacceptable geographical location estimatives for specific types of applications. Hence, new studies to improve their accuracy, as well as the completeness of the strategies to infer Internet host geolocation are needed. This work aims to study the existing geolocations mechanism, builds an accuracy and completeness improvement proposal for geographical location inference from Internet hosts. Also a study about Pernambucoâs academic network input and output data flow through geolocated traffic analyses will be built. The used strategy is based on whois queries and have a traceroute-based heuristic
