Location-aware domain name system
THIS WEEK, NetSpeak explores the DNS-based technology that helps identify the exact geographical location of a server on the Net.
One of the problems of the Net world is lack of necessary tools that enable us to identify the geographical location of various machines on the cyberspace. There are many situations that demand proper location knowledge or geographic distribution of Net servers/routers. For example, the Net engineers/researchers, who study the growth of Net and other infrastructure/performance issues, need to know the exact location of servers installed across the globe. To know more about the benefits of the Net's geographic spread, check out: http://www.ckdhr.com/dns-loc/.
