One of the major weakness of existing peer-to-peer
networks is that their overlay structures do not match
well with the physical underlying network topology. In
this paper, we present a Geographical Longest Prefix
Matching (Geo-LPM) scheme whereby nodes selforganise
themselves into clusters such that nodes in the
same cluster are close to each other in terms of network
latency and membership. Geo-LPM combines IP
prefixes and network metric measurements to quickly
and easily locate nodes in the geographical space. It is
simple, scalable, self-organising and distributed with no
form of global knowledge
