-Abstract
Many applications benefit from using IP geo-location to determine the geographic location of hosts on the
Internet. In cloud computing, people get concerned not only of privacy and integrity of their data but its location as
well. This is important because several of laws and regulations governing data storage and access mechanisms in
different geographical regions. In cloud applications some organizations must ensure their virtual machines stay in
an appropriate geographic region. This paper studies basic of geolocation, different IP geolocation based techniques
with their detailed methodology of working, pros and cons of existing techniques of IP geolocaiton. This research
paper covers Shortest Ping, GeoPing, CBG, Statistical, Learning Based, TBG and Octant. All these methods are used
for finding the current geographic location of the Internet hosts.
