Abstract
A method of populating a location information database for use in providing a location-based service to a host device that is an endpoint of a logical connection between the host device and a network access server. The method comprises receiving from the host device over the logical connection a request for network access; assigning a logical identifier to the host device in response to the receiving; determining a physical location associated with the endpoint of the logical connection; creating an association between the logical identifier and the physical location; and storing the association in the location information database.
