Hello friend's,
Currently i creating a program(using java) which will display the location of the viewer of a particular site.But i need some help.
As we know many sites like whatismyipaddress provide you the information of the Ip address you submitted.
But i want to know how these sites can able to calculate which Ip address location belongs to which country or which location.Is there any range of Ip address belongs to a particular country ??

hmm,
Every service provider as I see, has a range of allocated Public IP address range, when you open the webpage requests are sent down to the webpage. not only is a single website does the whole action , but as well,many more services are taken int account. For the website is is easy to say from which IP the request came, by simply seeing the source address.(in this case the public gateway address)
for example my home computer starts by asking the gateway about :whatismyipaddress.com as below
192.... would be my home private addressing, but a traceroute to whatismyipaddress.com resulted in IP address:67.203.139.152, which later acks the packets and redirects my request to various other services like:
calling the HTTP functions like,
GET /CSS/myip.css
GET /gampad/google_Service.js and so on..

@Durga As you mentioned every service provider has a range of allocated Public IP address.So on that basis we can say that this Ip address belongs to that location.
Is the range fixed ??
Is the same case with country ??
If yes!!
Provide me the range of some countries or any link where i find the ranges so that i can able to program for finding the country to which a particular Ip address belongs.

@Goyal Thanks i started to read about it.

In general, IPs are first allocated by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to Regional Internet Registries (RIR) around the world. There are five of them and their associated regions:

AfriNIC: Africa Region
APNIC: Asia/Pacific Region
ARIN: North America Region
LACNIC: Latin America and some Caribbean Islands
RIPE NCC: Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia

These RIRs will maintain the regional WHOIS and reverse DNS databases. Over time, RIRs will request for more allocation. So there aren't really any fixed ranges for these regions. You can find the a rough RIR allocation here:

However, some IP ranges that were administered to an RIR are now given to another (like ARIN to APNIC), so its quite dynamic as per allocation request. So from RIRs, they'll further allocate IP blocks to National Internet Registeries and ISPs in those specific regions.

There is a website the lists IP ranges of countries here:
#-Link-Snipped-#

Though as I mentioned earlier, allocation can be dynamic, so there might be a few blocks that are swapped amongst countries after the list is updated. You'll need to query the WHOIS databases of the RIRs in order to get the latest IP block information and which country they belong to 😀
