  • Patent number: 11647481
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide techniques to locate target devices. An electronic message is sent to a set of landmark devices, signaling each landmark device to transmit echo-request packets to a target device and to other landmark devices and measure network-communication delays. Indications of the network-communication delays are received from the set landmark devices. A first sequence is formed by sorting the set of landmark devices relative to the network-communication delays between the target device and each landmark device. For each respective landmark device, an additional sequence is formed by sorting other landmark devices relative to the network-communication delays between the respective landmark device and the other landmark devices. A sequence-matching operation is applied to the first sequence and the additional sequences to form a ranking of the set of landmark devices relative to the target device.

  • Patent number: 11229001
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a way to pinpoint where a target device associated with an IP address is physically located within a geographical region. Network-communication delays between landmark devices and the target device are determined and used to generate sequences capturing relative delay relationships between the landmark devices and the target device. The sequences are used to determine a ranking via a sequence-matching approach. For each pair of landmark devices, a geographical boundary that divides the geographical region into a target partition and a second partition is determined. The target partition includes a first landmark device of the pair and the second partition includes a second landmark device of the pair. The target device is located where the target partitions for the pairs overlap. Network tomography can be applied to increase accuracy.
