NUST (Updated 7/24/2019)

Wajahat mentioned a possibility of proposing a project for https://isif.asia/grants/,where it says "These grants will support research focused on the availability, reliability, and security of the Internet, with a particular focus on operational stability and security. The research outcomes should aim to expand access to knowledge, expand coverage for research applications and maximize the benefit to the community. Three small grants of USD 20,000 USD will be allocated, for a total of USD 60,000 in funding." 
  • Les put together a possible project based on providing a better understanding of routes between Internet hosts.  The early draft document is at: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/Visual+Traceroute+and+Archiving.  This might be the basis for a proposal that Wajahat would lead. 
  • Wajahat reported at the meeting (7/23/2019) that he had submitted a proposal.
  • However, there was a section on a Business Plan, and Wajahat did not know how to respond to this and left it empty.
  • Didn’t go through due to lack of details.

There appears to be no response from NUST concerning the letter about PingER that Les sent them.

IPv6 host at NUST:

Wajahat has requested Hasan to install PingER on an IPv6 host at NUST, Saqib has contacted Hasan to tell him where to find and upload the code. There is not a host name for the MA yet. Hopefully, this will be available by next month's meeting.

  •  7/24/2019 Les emailed Wajahat with a request for an update.
  • At the meeting Wajahat had asked the student to contact Saqib and get the information on energizing IPv6. Saqib provided the information, but the student could not access the URL (apparently the URlLwas down). Wajahat was on leave and when he returned the internship had expired, so Wajahat is unsure what happened. Wajahat will start a new student next week and will set him on the IPv6 project. 

Wajahat has 2 students, he will propose some PingER related projects to them. He says students do not appear to have much interest in Internet monitoring and getting funding is a major issue.have much interest in Internet monitoring and getting funding is a major issue.

The recent move to revoke the special status of Jammu Kashmir may result  in impacts on the Internet performance, so we are looking for PingER target in JK.
