Problem Observations

It is observed that a total of six nodes (Pakistani nodes) are pingable from some regions (in particular Pakistan) and not pingable from other regions (see below), in particular they are not pingable from SLAC. It is also observed that we are unable to gather data from these nodes while accessing from SLAC however, we are able to gather data at SEECS. These nodes are

  1. pinger.pern.edu.pk (Islamabad HEC POP node)
  2. pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk (Islamabad Fatima Jinnah Women University POP node)
  3. pingerisl-qau.pern.edu.pk (Islamabad Quaid-e-Azam University POP node)
  4. pingermtn.pern.edu.pk (Multan POP node)*
  5. nuisb.seecs.edu.pk (FAST NU Islamabad Campus node)
  6. nukhimain.seecs.edu.pk (FAST NU Karachi Campus node)

* This host was pingable from SLAC and a Menlo Park home at 9:00pm 1/5/2012, so we will ignore

The other hosts are not pingable from SLAC but are pingable from homes near SLAC and from SLAC all are reached by a route going via transpac (Tokyo), apan and tein3 (Singapore)

Of the above 5 Pakistani hosts that are not pingable from SLAC, they all respond to telnet host 80 from SLAC or a home in Menlo Park near SLAC.

Beacons pingable from these 5 hosts

From PingER pingtable.pl looking from monitoring hosts in Pakistan and excluding Pakistani remote hosts (see for example from nukhimain.seecs.edu.pk):

  1. pinger.pern.edu.pk is not able to monitor Beacons in Australia and New Zealand (6), Canada (2), Europe (10 countries), China (2), Israel (1), Japan (2), South America (6 countries), South Asia (5 excluding Pakistan), SE Asia (6), US (2)
  2. It can monitor Beacons in about 20 countries in Africa (13 countries, but not South Africa), Byelorussia (1), Africa, Russia, Taiwan (1, Ukraine (1)
  3. pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk, pingerisl-qau.pern.edu.pk, nuisb.seecs.edu.pk have similar results
  4. On the other hand nukhimain.seecs.edu.pk appears to be in this mode since Jan 2, 2012, however previous to this it was able to ping most Beacons including pinger.slac.stanford.edu.

When did these hosts start being non pingable from SLAC

  • pinger.pern.edu.pk and was pingable from SLAC until Dec 15, 2011,
  • pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk, pingerisl-qau.per.edu.pk and nuisn.seecs.edu.pk were pingable until Dec 8 2011,
  • nukhimain.seecs.edu.pk were pingable until Jan 2, 2012, this corresponds to what was seen pinging SLAC from this host

Is there a correlation with routes

  • Prior to Dec 15, 2011 pinger.pern.edu.pk was routed to SLAC via the SJ, NY, Washington, Paris, Marseilles and KHI route seen above, after Dec15, 2011 it was routed via the transpac (Tokyo), apan and tein3 (Singapore) route also seen above.
  • Prior to Dec 8, 2011 pingerisl.fjwu.pern.edu.pk, pingerisl-qau.pern.edu.pk and nuisb.seecs.edu.pk were routed to SLAC via PAIX (in Palo Alto), and Singtel, after Dec 8, 2011 they were routed via the transpac (Tokyo), apan and tein3 (Singapore) route seen above,
  • Prior to Jan 1, 2012 nukhimain.seecs.edu.pk was routed via the transpac (Tokyo), apan and tein3 (Singapore) route

Can we identify where the blockage starts

Using mtr we can traceroute and then ping each of the routers along the route to see which routers respond. It is possible a router will pass pings but not respond to pings (or vice versa) so the results as to where a blockage may occur are not definitive. Mtr results from SLAC to pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu indicate that all routers up through that at hop 11 respond to pings except for the one at hop 7 which was not pinged since it was not identifiable from the traceroute. Thus all routers up to that at hop 10 are passing pings through. We cannot tell if the router at hop 11 is passing pings since there is no information from the traceroute concerning the router at hop 12 and thus mtr cannot try and ping it.

Reverse traceroutes

It might be possible to learn more by comparing the forward and reverse traceroutes, The forward and reverse traceroutes betwen SLAC and pinger.pern.edu.pk are shown below. Comparing the router names and addresses for the forward and reverse paths between teh two pairs of hosts below it appears the forward and reverse routes in both cases are asymmetric.

Detailed View for pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk

It is also observed that we are unable to telnet port 80, for these nodes,  from SLAC, ES.net, SLAC visitor subnet and from a host at pinger2. However, we can gather data from home (Amber, Yee, Les and Antonio tried it).

The traceroute and pinging of nodes along the route using mtr are seen here. This is the same route seen by pinger.pern.edu.pk, pingerisl-qau.pern.edu.pk, nuisb.seecs.edu.pk, and nukhimain.seecs.edu.pk. It is seen the traceroute goes on transpac and apan via Tokyo and Singapore to get to Pakistan.  On the other hand the route from SLAC to pingermtn.pern.edu.pk (which is pingable) is very different going on Level3 via New York, Washington, Paris, Marseilles to Karachi . When we compare the route(from mtr)  from SLAC with the route from Antonio's or Yee's home below, they are very different.

Conclusion :

Some network provider between SLAC and pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk is blocking the access to few Pakistani nodes. 

Reflector.cgi to pinger.pern.edu.pk

=======================================================

Further review by using reflector.cgi to ping pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk shows it is only pingable from 19 .pk (Pakistani) and 1 .jo (Jordan) hosts.

SOMEONE needs to work with the admins for pingerisl-qau.pern.edu.pk and pinger.pern.edu.pk or their network connections to see if they really are blocking pings from some IP addresses or regions.

In addition from previous emails:

SOMEONE needs to look at why http://pingermtn.pern.edu.pk/cgi-bin/traceroute.pl?function=ping&target=www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu is not responding, it appears the web server or CGI script may be down.

Looking at further, even though pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk is not pingable from SLAC, I am now able to gather data using [http://pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl?in_form=1&begin_hour=00&begin_min=00&begin_sec=00&begin_day=30&begin_month=12

However, using http://pingermtn.pern.edu.pk/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl? I get Chrome could not connect to pingermtn.pern.edu.pk so it looks as if the web server is down. Pinging it via http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/nph-traceroute.pl?target=pingermtn.pern.edu.pk&function=ping I get Executing exec(ping, -c 5 -s 56, 121.52.158.210) PING 121.52.158.210 (121.52.158.210) 56(84) bytes of data.

Subject: FW: Latest Update and Progress of Monitoring Status 29 December-2011 ( 16:40 PM ) (49/55)

Umar, Anjum and I met this morning via Skype. Anjum forwarded me a progress report from Joun for December 29, 2011 concerning the Pakistani monitoring hosts.

It identified

19. pingerqta.pern.edu.pk <http://pingerqta.pern.edu.pk/> (Partially down power issue will be up soon)

I looked at http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/monitoring/checkdata/ after modifying checkdata_gif.pl (this is the script that reports on our success in gathering data from the monitoring hosts each day) to identify PERN hosts with problems and came up with:

Pakistani monitors: good=33, partial_data=7, no_data=15, total=55, problems=22, PERN monitors: good=9, partial_data=1, no_data=4, total=14, problems=5, no_data=pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk, no_data=pinger.pern.edu.pk, partial_data=pingerqta.pern.edu.pk, no_data=pingermtn.pern.edu.pk, no_data=pingerisl-qau.pern.edu.pk,

So we agree about pingerqta.pern.edu.pk

However we differ on pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk (node 32 in Joun's list), pingermtn.pern.edu.pk (43 in Joun's list), pingerisl-qau.pern.edu.pk (33 in Joun's list), pinger.pern.edu.pk (22 in Joun's list).

Looking in more detail:

pingermtn.pern.edu.pk is pingable, however http://pingermtn.pern.edu.pk/cgi-bin/traceroute.pl?function=ping&target=www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu fails, it looks like the web server or cgi-script is down. SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS

I am unable to ping the following from SLAC pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk (using http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/nph-traceroute.pl?target=pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk&function=ping) or pingerisl-qau.pern.edu.pk (using http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/nph-traceroute.pl?target=pingerisl-qau.pern.edu.pk&function=ping) or pinger.pern.edu.pk (http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/nph-traceroute.pl?target=pinger.pern.edu.pk&function=ping) from SLAC at 12:11pm PST 12/30/2011.

However I am able to ping (using http://maggie1.seecs.edu.pk/cgi-bin/traceroute.pl?target=pinger.pern.edu.pk+&function=ping) pinger.pern.edu.pk, pingerisl-fjwu.pern.edu.pk from SEECS, SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS

I can't ping pingerisl-qau.pern.edu.pk from SEECS

Response March/April 2012

Three nodes had IP address fixed. HEC Islamabad, Multan, Fatima Jenna university in Rawalpindi (near old NIIT).

FSBD  POP have high unreachability values, which is not acceptable. They are looking into it. Backhaul network is currently leased from PTCL however in 3-4 months they will replace it with their own network. There would be no commercial traffic on it. As a result it is expected that RTT and losses will improve drastically. So next 6 months are important for observing the network performance.

Status May 2012

  • Les looked at which Pakistani monitoring hosts SLAC is unable to gather data from since the start of May. They are as follows:
    • hu.seecs.edu.pk aka PK.HU.EDU.N2 does not appear as a monitoring host in SEECS pingtable.pl. Also SEECS pingtable.pl has no data this month from AIOU to hu.seecs
    • lse.seecs.edu.pk aka PK.LSE.EDU.N3 does not appear as a monitoring host in SEECS pingtable.pl. Also SEECS pingtable.pl has no data this month from AIOU to lse
    • pinger-itc.pu.edu.pk aka PK.PU.EDU.N2 does not appear in the SEECS pingtable.pl as a monitoring host
    • pinger.giki.edu.pk aka PK.GIKI.EDU.N1 does not appear as a monitoring host in SEECS pingtable.pl
    • pinger.uaar.edu.pk aka PK.UAAR.EDU.N1 does not appear as a monitoring host in SEECS pingtable.pl
    • pinger.ustb.edu.pk aka PK.USTB.EDU.N2 does not appear as a monitoring host in SEECS pingtable.pl
    • sbkwu.seecs.edu.pk aka PK.SBKWU.SEECS.EDU does not appear as a monitoring host in SEECS pingtable.pl
  • Should they be designated as Monitoring hosts?
  • Amber reports: Looking at this weeks status report on wiki, the list of the nodes which are not monitoring nodes in SEECS pingtable but are monitoring nodes at SLAC can be due to the fact that these nodes are the usual problematic nodes since months. It might be possible that SEECS team (who manage SEECS pingtable) have made these nodes as remote nodes to avoid hassle. However, I shall confirm this from Kashif tomorrow and will update you on this. If this turns out to be true, I shall change these nodes to remote nodes in SLAC pingtable as well.
  • No labels
