• Manuscript titled - Clustering Analysis of PingER Network Data for Vardha Cyclone has been PEER REVIEWED and ACCEPTED for publication in the Confluence-2018:8th International Conference: on the theme “Cloud Computing, Data Science & Engineering”  to be held prevented on 11th - 12th January 2018 at Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida, India. 

  Amity provided progress/code/screen shots of the pinger android implementation attached. We have also attached the executable file.

• Their PingER MA system has crashed and they are reinstalling the project.

  • They have understood the procedure and will be implementing the steps as soon as their major exams get over (18th of December).   Sent reminder 1/8/2018/are having problems with the traceroute server and ping_data.pl (that gathers the data). Les is working with them.

Looking into moving PingER to a "block chain" database good for distribution of data. Hot topic. Monitoring sites would then be able to write to a distributed ledger. This would change the architecture to a more peer to peer architecture. Help with continuity of PingER. Might be compelling.  See Block Chain in Future PingER Projects. Saqib is interested.  Update?

Saqib has made contact with John Pickard author of  "Quality of IPv6 Enablement of Universities: An International Study"  who has provided a list of about 125 Universities in about 60 countries hosting IPv6 sites.The paper title: " Internet Performance Analysis of South Asian Countries using End-to-end Internet Performance Measurements" is submitted in IEEE IUCC 2017 (http://trust.gzhu.edu.cn/conference/IUCC2017/). Camera ready paper is submitted. It has been accepted.. However many are proxies.  Les has suggested using perfSONAR (there are about 1000 and they all have lat longs in the sperfSONAR data base. Saqib is gatherin the list, then we will see how many have IPv6 addresses.

Les is also looking at other sources of IPv6 hosts, for example the PingER targets (for which we have the lat/longs) has about 40 IPv6 hosts thta respond to pings

The paper title: " Detecting Anomalies from Internet Performance Analysis of South Asian Countries using End-to-End end Internet Performance Measurements" is submitted in IEEE IUCC 2017 (http://trust.gzhu.edu.cn/conference/IUCC2017/). Camera ready paper is submitted. It has been accepted.

The paper title: " Detecting Anomalies from End-to-End Internet Performance Measurements (PingER) using Cluster Based Local Outlier Factor" is submitted in IEEE ISPA 2017 (http://trust.gzhu.edu.cn/conference/ISPA2017/). Camera ready paper is submitted. It has been accepted.

PingER MA at GZHU is now accessible publicly and is successfully gathering data and incorporated in PingER. It would make a good beacon, however it was not pingable 7/16/2017, sent email. Saqib is trying to convince the IT department to open the ping. No success yet. Hopefully in next 2 weeks.  (9/26/2016). Still not pingable 10/24/2017. No success. However, requested to move PingER to dual stack subnet to ping Ipv6 address space. In coming week, then will see what we can ping. Update 12/4/2017?

PingER has valuable historical data for the last 20 years.Many analysis and case studies have been carried using this data. A lot of information is available on the website. Saqib's idea is to publish the brief summary all these analysis through a survey paper covering the history and utilization of PingER data starting from 1998 to 2017. Saqib started on it, Les is providing assistance. Need your feedback on the idea of Measuring the Digital Development of the Countries using PingER data.          Is there something you want me to review some, e.g. some draft document on Measuring the Digital Development of the Countries using PingER data , or are you asking if it is a good idea to review and create such a document. If the latter I think this is a fascinating subject. Part of the challenge is the chicken and egg problems: i.e. is it network performance influencing advancement of the country, or is it the reverse that advanced countries can afford good networks.  My belief is it goes both ways. Also one needs to extend the analysis beyond just Africa else it’s kind of a repeat of Pinging Africa , R. Les Cottrell, IEEE Spectrum February 2013. Also see A Simple Tool for Measuring Digital Development , by R. Les Cottrell, IEEE Spectrum February 2013. This is derived from SLAC-PUB-15333. 

·       Also it may be related to Adib’s paper on Internet Performance and its Reflection on Socioeconomic Development in the ASEAN Countries that was submitted to IEEE and rejected.

Currently, no data is available on PingER on Android due to unavailability of the live IP address. No update 4/19/2017, 7/6/2017. Email sent to Sara Masood. No update 9/24/2017. Any update 10/24/2017. Update 12/4/2017?

PingER at SLAC

Working with Saqib to test pinger2.pl to make it work with IPv6 servers and targets.

• ipv6 connectivity is now available on pinger.slac.stanford.edu, thus I am able to test pinger2.pl MA code to ensure and understand how it works for IPv6.  
• I also have  externally visible IPv6 Linux (nospam2-out.slac.stanford.edu ( 2620:114:d000:2598::10)) and Solaris (www1.slac.stanford.edu(IPv6 address 2620:114:d000:2716::200)) hosts.  
• A host to test against is ipv6.google.com (2607:f8b0:4007:800::200e).
• pinger2.pl is fixed,
• gathering of the data from others sites is fixed,
• aggregation, analysis, and presentation modified and believed fixed but not tested. 
• working on meta database to accept IPv6 addresses

Currently pinger2.pl works for either an IPv4 MA or an IPv6 MA, but not both at once. Thus Saqib has two MAs one for Ipv4 and one for IPv6. Looking at being able to make pinger2.pl work for both. This will enable migration, but will also require a new analysis and presentation, e.g. the ability to select IPv4 or IPv6 measurements or both

Modified traceroute.pl to address some IPv6 issues Saqib identified. Announced to perfSONAR team.

Next Meeting

Next meeting:  Thursday, February 22nd  9pm Pacific time; Friday, February 23rd, 2018  9:00am Pakistan time; Friday, February 23rd 2018 12:00noon Malaysian and Guangzhou .time; and 11am Thailand time.

• ipv6 connectivity is now available on pinger.slac.stanford.edu, thus I am able to test and fix  pinger2.pl MA code to ensure  works for IPv6.   
• Ran into a problem that IPv6 pings were being blocked at the SLAC border firewalls. This has been fixed.
• A host to test against is ipv6.google.com (2607:f8b0:4007:800::200e).
• gathering of the data from others sites is also fixed,
• aggregation, analysis, and presentation modified and believed fixed but not tested. 
• working on meta database to accept IPv6 addresses, close but not done.

Currently pinger2.pl works for either an IPv4 MA or an IPv6 MA, but not both at once. Thus Saqib has two MAs one for Ipv4 and one for IPv6. Looking at being able to make pinger2.pl work for both.

Les has written scripts identify IPv6 pingable hosts in various lists including PingER hosts, perfSONAR hosts.

Looking at comparing ping RTTs vs those between sending a TCP SYN and receiving the ACK response for PingER hosts. See Validating Ping measurements against TCP measurements.
