UM appears to be experiencing very high packet losses (>4%). We need help in understanding these. It does not look like simple congestion since the jitter and RTT is staying low. Saqib needs assistance from Badrul as part of his case study of Malaysia.

- Still the problem of the delay in traceroute is not solved. It appears to be due to the DNS lookup delay.
Saqib has started a case study of Malaysian hosts seen from Malaysian Monitors. the case study is identifying the need for the Malaysian monitors to collect traceroutes to their target hosts daily.

UUM
Dec 4, 2013: The director of computer centre has agreed to support this collaboration and already appointed one staff to be with us during the configuration. Next step, Adib needs to discuss with Prof. Suhaidi to dedicate one PC OR get support from Badrul grant to buy one PC for this purpose or have a bake sale and buy a Raspberry Pi. Adib will do his best to setup PingER monitoring host at UUM before the end of this year. Adib was not on the meeting. He provided an update by email: "Still waiting to get PC. But they promise to provide one very soon. it is totally beyond my control." Regarding the meeting, Adib will attend the upcoming meetings once UUM pinger host is up.
