Abstract
The present disclosure provides for improved computational efficiency and security in a network by determining the physical location of network connected components, without requiring the components to self-locate. The locations of devices remotely connected to a site within the network are geolocated so that the physical location of that site may be inferred from a centralized point to the remote devices' locations. This calculate site location may be compared against a known site location to improve a generalized algorithm for determining the calculated location of a site with an unknown location, and may be applied to devices that are locally connected to the network, which may be otherwise incapable of being geolocated.
