Renan is now working as a systems developer at his university at this moment so he is busy. He has plans to keep in touch with us and producing more work. Currently he is unsure he will have an outstanding productivity.

Ridzuan reports his current progress is that he has considered using Apache Mahout (open source machine learning for big data) for the clustering on the Pinger data. Ridzuan, how did your tests with pingtable.pl go? Ridzuan is awaiting Renan decision on final implementation of RDF storage to be adopted.

was unable to attend but sent the following status report: "My progress is that currently I am setting up the Hadoop environment to our UM servers. There have been some installation problems and will take some time to debug and testing Pinger data. We will start using Malaysia pinger data first as a starter. Will inform you the progress in our next meeting."
Badrul plans for his undergraduate student (Abdulrahim Haroun Ali) to have a draft paper on anomalies in PingER measurements to share for review by the end of semester (January).
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. Badrul writes: "UM is now currently changing the new policy regarding the bandwidth and connection. They are upgrading the switch and router to a new router - mostly every weekend they shut down the network. therefore we are now having some difficulty." Saqib has identified what appear to be losses starting at a JARING router in KL. It would be good if Badrul could run mtrt from UM to UTM.
UNIMAS
The IPDV jitter looks high for UNIMAS seen from SLAC in Nov & Dec. Saqib needs help from Johari to try and understand this. Could it be due to students?

At the Connect Asia Pacific Summit in Bangkok 2 weeks ago and seeing the project "Mapping the pan Asia Pacific information Superhighway and closing gaps in infrastructure connectivity" Shahryar found that very much related to the work in the PingER project. So Shahryar sent email to a UN agency for a possible collaboration with them on PingER project. He has heard nothing so he will write a detailed proposal and then should contact them again.
Anjum believes he can add two more PingER hosts, one at Bahawalpur the other at Sahiwal. These are in central Pakistan towards the Eastern border and so should help with providing TULIP landmarks. However with his impending move he has not had time to follow up. Hassaan will follow up with Anjum. Progress?
