Octant is a geolocalization toolkit that helps to globally pinpoint the location of Internet servers. Octant begins by measuring how long it takes to ping servers from Internet landmarks with known geographic coordinates to the target as its primary source of geographical constraints. It then breaks geolocation calculations down into a system of constraints that can be solved geometrically to yield an estimated region on earth where the node resides. The latency to distance mapping from a landmark to a target is then calibrated by the inter-landmark latency measurements.
Octant can be tested here, and there are some screenshots.
