[Planetlab-users] Getting geographical data on nodes

[Justin Cappos]

You can access this through the PLC API (
http://www.planet-lab.org/doc/plc_api).   You can use "GetNodes()" with
appropriate arguments to get the lat and long information from PlanetLab,
then do the CoMon query over all nodes and do the matching yourself.   I
don't think there is a smarter way given the current APIs.

If you would like example code for using the PLC API, let me know...

Thanks,
Justin
