| Zusammenfassung: | A method and network node for geographically locating an end node in a packet data communication network. The network node creates and stores information representing a path of data packets between first and second end nodes. At least one node address along the path is identified using the information. The network node then determines which address corresponds to an access node for the first end node and determines which access port of the access node the first end node is connected to. The access node address and port are then mapped against geographic data in a data bank to obtain information regarding the location of the first end node. |
