UNIMAS (Johari unable to attend 9/21/2017, 10/2617 12/07/2017 so no update)
- Johari attended a workshop organized by UNESCO about experience in China and Malaysia on analysis and visualization. He talked to several researchers from China. He will send a paper to a journal to see if there is interest.
- Johari is teaching this semester, he will enter the Raspberry Pi image into Dropbox or Github in the next few days. Bebo will follow up with Github information.
- ran into a problem with the Raspberry Pi image creation. Apparently the image has to be burnt with exactly the same size as the capacity of the microSSD, and the latter varies. There may not be a solution.
- He is looking at updating the PingER Malaysia web site.
- He has been unable to contact Hafiz to get MyREN monitor at UNIMAS working again. Writing a paper. Les will review and then Johari will submit. No progress 3/14/2017. Looking for a good journal 5/18/2017There was a dicussion between Johari and Adib. Adib confirm Hafiz is still at MYREN, MYREN are moving locations which may have impact on some servers and availability of Hafiz. Adib will try and contact Hafiz.
UAF/GHZU (Saqib)
Pinger.gzhu.edu.cn MA is down due to a possible security issue. Is there any progress 1/18/2018, can we assist?
Saqib submitted a project in CERNET to monitor the performance of IPv6 network using PingERv6. He received the news that the project is accepted with 100K RMB. Now he has 2 accepted projects regarding PingER and total amount he has is near about 40K USD. Further, in his lab, three U1 servers have already arrived through another grant for research purpose. We can also use them for our PingER project.
AlsoTherefore, Saqib submitted the PingER MA in the CERNET has given Saqib a IPv6 based application contest organized by CERNET. They cleared the first round of the contest. Now in 2nd round, we have to show the running state of the project.Therefore, the CERNET has given Saqib a IPv6 based CentOS 6.8 machine in cloud. Now he is trying to deploy the CentOS 6.8 machine in cloud. Now he is trying to deploy the PingER server on the machine. Lets see how it will work on IPv6 based network. This is a 2 year project.
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. 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 gathering 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 that respond to pingsThe 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.. Another source is perfSONAR. Les has created an XML file of the perfSONAR host which Saqib is going to look at to see which are IPv6 pingable.
The paper title: " Detecting Anomalies from Missing Values Imputation in PingER Internet End-to-End Internet end 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.The paper title: " Missing Values Imputation in PingER Internet End-to-end Performance Measurements using k-nearest neighbors (k NN)" was not accepted in IMC 2017. He is updating the paper according to the reviewer’s comments. Hopefully, Saqib will submit it at some other venue. Not yet decided about the submission venue. Need some suggestions. Updated but not decided where to submit. Update 12/4/2017?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. . He is updating the paper according to the reviewer’s comments. Hopefully, Saqib will submit it at some other venue. Not yet decided about the submission venue. Need some suggestions. Updated but not decided where to submit. Update 12/4/2017?

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? No progress 1/18/2018.
PingER at SLAC
Working with Saqib to test pinger2.pl to make it work with IPv6 servers and targets.
