Once the database is ready then Joun can move the data. Ghulam needs to interact with Zafar or Umar. Umar will contact Zafar and see if he can spare sometime. Sadia will work with Ghulam to document his questions on the schema so Umar can work with Zafar to provide feedback. There has been no progress, Sadia awaits Ghulam input
Ghulam has left the project. Sadia please provide what you canalready left that is why we are not hearing anything from his side. He might not be coming back. Sadia might have to do this all at her own.
Maggie is not working due to no disk space. This might be a reason for trace routes not working. There are a lot files in /tmp/, Joun will give some examples. they may be able to be deleted to save space. Any Progress?
Arshad is applying for his visa. Hopes to be here end May start June. Does Arshad need a new invitation? Anjum will ask Arshad.
Anjum has looked at the invitation letter and found that there is no date specified on the invitation letter, therefore we dont need a new invitation letter. Arshad will be visiting US by the end of June.
The Internet End-to-end Performance Monitoring/PingER , SLAC and Les as the Project Leader have been nominated for the Tech Awards in the Education category. The Tech Awards, a signature program of The Tech Museum of Innovation in Silicon Valley, honors innovators from around the world who are creatively applying technology to benefit humanity. Fifteen Laureates in five categories - Environment, Economic Development, Education, Equality and Health - will be honored at a Gala event in October 2011 in Silicon Valley, California, and five Laureates will each be awarded a cash prize of $50,000 USD. Les has applied and Arshad is a reference.
Les will be sending this document to Umar for his views and suggestions.
Anjum has applied for an HEC grant, also trying NUST to partially fund. Do not see a student at SLAC for 6 months and this may be optimistic. No progress yet.
Anjum is looking for graduate students to overlap with Bilal and Ghulam who will be leaving this month.

Anjum did not submit the full or summary HEC report this month. He will submit both reports this month, Amber and Imadullah will prepare when Amber gets back to SEECS.
Pakistani Hosts
Amber will notify Joun of non working nodes. Did this happen? There are some Pakistani nodes that are recorded as working from SEECS while they are not working from SLAC. This mismatch was recorded by Amber and Joun. Amber and Joun will get together and see if the problem still exists or not.
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.

Bilal submitted S Asia. Though S. Asia as a whole looks bad, Pakistan looks good (i.e. CBG is way better than GeoIP). This may be since the landmarks are not excluding a measurement to themself.
For South Asia, quest.seecs.edu.pk has high RTT and a distance of 816km for Islamabad nodes which is because the node is in Nawabshah Karachi but has the DNS entry of SEECS. Similarly, sbkwu.seecs.edu.pk has high error and large distance because the node is in Quetta but DNS entry is of SEECS. As Anjum can see, all the nodes that are showing bad results are the ones that have unstable behavior (i.e either they are unreachable most of the time or they have high RTTs).
Sadia and Les did some removal of about 120 duplicate site landmarks, now have about 220 landmarks.
