ABSTRACT:
A method and system for determining a relative location of a device on a network is provided. In this system and method, a list of landmark nodes provided on the network is received. Then, a value which is a time, a latency and/or a distance from the device to each of the landmark nodes is determined. Each of the determined values corresponding to the respective node of the landmark nodes is transmitted to a central arrangement to provide the relative location of the device with respect to the landmark nodes.
