  • Johari 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. Do we give up?
  • We have lost both MAs at UNIMAS:
    • Johari is looking at updating the PingER Malaysia web site (pinger.unimas.my)
    • Johari has been unable to contact Hafiz to get MyREN monitor at UNIMAS (perfsonar-unimas.myren.net.myworking again. There 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)

Reviewing the blockchain feasibility for the PingER data storage.

Pinger.gzhu.edu.cn MA is down since November 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.  

...

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 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 pings. 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.

Les will send Saqib a list of PingER Beacon sites that respond to IPv6 pings.

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?
