• Topher is back, Bebo is contacting him. Bebo's thoughts were that:PingER will need a fixed name for each Android MA.  Since the Android may be mobile the IP address may be dynamic. There is a DNS name to dynamic IP address service that may be useful. Maybe there is another unique fixed identifier in an Android that could be used such as a serial number or SIM ID.
  •  If the Amity app is robust  (i.e. it does not noticeably impact the other services, power, networking, security etc) make it part of the standard Rainforest installation;
  • Topher's package knows the GPS location, so it should be available to PingER for recording.
  • Topher's Rainforest project is a grantee of  Google’s AI for Social Good program, which launched the Google AI Impact Challenge, see https://www.blog.google/outreach-initiatives/google-org/ai-impact-challenge-grantees/?fbclid=IwAR0_APkJ6UTLUFGOVMxRW5qU_u1QYRKZXYS1jf6wyHJ-y9RLcz0VcEuy4zk. This will further limit the time Topher can devote the Amity PingER/Android project. Bebo put it well: "We think that PingER software on the Android operating system (and Android devices) can play a valuable role in the collection of PingER data and open up new possibilities for the analysis of that data. However, given the level of expertise and status of support at SLAC and other PingER collaborators now and in the future, it will be necessary for Amity to fully take the lead on this research, development/testing, and support."
•  Access to the Measurement Agent (MA) pingeramity.in appears to be very unstable. I notice Les noticed this by looking at https://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/monitoring/checkdata/Apr.html and seeing how often we were unable to gather any data.
   
  For more detail, I Les looked at the data for pinging pingeramity.in from SLAC from March 19 2019 to May 3, 2019 using http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/ping_data_plot.pl?monitor=pinger.slac.stanford.edu&sites=pingeramity.in&begin_day=5&begin_month=3&begin_year=2019&end_day=4&end_month=5&end_year=2019&data. See the attached spreadsheet, in particular, the %loss. The %loss shows multiple periods where the loss is 100%. See yellow lines below for loss (100% means unreachable).
  
  
   
  Just to check I Les looked at http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/ping_data_plot.pl?monitor=pinger.slac.stanford.edu&sites=www.mitpune.com&begin_day=5&begin_month=3&begin_year=2019&end_day=4&end_month=5&end_year=2019&data where there are no losses. Email sent to Amity folks.
