Although Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) have the promise to make rigorous higher education accessible to everyone, prior research has shown that registrants tend to come from backgrounds of higher socioeconomic status. In this work, I…
The geographical location of Internet IP addresses has an importance both for academic research and commercial applications. Thus, both commercial and academic databases and tools are available for mapping IP addresses to geographic…
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) exhibit a remarkable heterogeneity of students. The advent of complex "big data" from MOOC platforms is a challenging yet rewarding opportunity to deeply understand how students are engaged in MOOCs. Past…
IP Geolocation databases are widely used in online services to map end user IP addresses to their geographical locations. However, they use proprietary geolocation methods and in some cases they have poor accuracy. We propose a systematic…
IP geolocation databases are widely used in research, policy, and industry, yet their accuracy across network types and geographies remains poorly characterized. We present a large scale evaluation of four major providers (MaxMind GeoLite2,…
This paper uses two commercial datasets of IP addresses from smartphones, geolocated through the Global Positioning System (GPS), to characterize the geography of IP address subnets from mobile and broadband ISPs. Datasets that ge olocate…
IP geolocation - the process of mapping network identifiers to physical locations - has myriad applications. We examine a large collection of snapshots from a popular geolocation database and take a first look at its longitudinal…
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are frequently used as a method of locating web users by researchers in several different fields. However, there are competing reports concerning the accuracy of those locations, and little research has been…
Geographically locating an IP address is of interest for many purposes. There are two major ways to obtain the location of an IP address: querying commercial databases or conducting latency measurements. For structural Internet nodes, such…
Fine-grained IP geolocation plays a critical role in applications such as location-based services and cybersecurity. Most existing fine-grained IP geolocation methods are regression-based; however, due to noise in the input data, these…
