- duhs.seecs.edu.pk, Kashif recommends to drop they do not seem interested. This has been done.
- pinger.kohat.edu.pk, System issue, we are sending new motherboard in this week.
- pingerkhi-uok.pern.edu.pk, SFP Connector Problem, We are sending new one in this week.
- sau.seecs.edu.pk, System Issue, New system is ready and will send in this week.
- uaf.seecs.edu.pk, Drop (IP blocked frequently so currently not good as a PingER). Anjum recommended that if we do not have another host in faislabad then this host may be very important. Since Kashif is from Faisalabad, Anjum suggested we try a bit more if there is no other host. Looking at the map (see http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/wan-mon/viper/pinger-coverage-gmap.html), it appears PK.PERNFSBDPOP.EDU.N1 is nearby. Thus UAF has been dropped.
Raja
Raja has added an optional feature to exclude water areas from the acceptable area. this reduces the error (proportional to area), but sometimes leads to a less accurate centroid. Currently it is only available for N. America. He will update the documentation with examples. The number of working, usable landmarks is now up to 340.
PingER at SLAC
Les requested an update from Yahoo about TULIP's geolocation. They answered "We are very much interested in getting IP triangulation at internet scale, we will have internal sync-up on how we can leverage this initiative if there is rate limit and get back. Regarding opening up yahoo sites for deploying ping server requires some more time to discuss this with relevant stake holders with in yahoo." No word, sent a reminder 5/19/2014. No response 6/4/2014, 6/25/2014..

Anjum suggested Saqib, Badrul and Johari put together a paper on user experiences with using the Internet in Malaysia as seen from Malaysian universities. In particular round trip time, losses, jitter, reliability, routing/peering, in particular anomalies, and the impact on VoIP, throughput etc. It would be good to engage someone from MYREN.
