Globalnetwork positioning is a coordinates based mechanism in a peer to peer network architecture which predicts Internet network distance i.e. round trip propagation and transmission delay . The mechanism is based on absolute coordinates computed from modeling the Internet as a geometric space. Since end hosts maintain their own coordinates, the approach allows end hosts to compute their inter host distances as soon as they discover each other. Moreover, coordinates are very efficient in summarizing inter host distances, making the approach very scalable . References T. S.
