Bebo
Bebo noted the recent unrest in Iran and asked whether the impact could be seen in the PingER data. Les investigated. The impact is very noticeable see PingER Iran Internet interrupted November 2019.
Bebo wondered if we could detect such impacts automatically. Les pointed out it may be possible. A problem maybe avoiding a large number of false positives. Some work was been done on detecting similar anomalies in TCP throughput data see . See for example Anomalous Event Detection that included the Plateau project. This would be an interesting project for a student.
NUST (Updated 7/24/2019)
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 URLwas 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. Progress?
Wajahat has a new intern. He is going through training for installing PingER. Wajahat hopes he will be ready to start real working in a couple of weeks following last month's meeting. Progress?
There is a problem with the nwfpuet host that appears to have started in April 2019. For more detail see here. Email sent to Wajahat 11/7/2019 and again 11/20/2019.
The Pakistan hosts: monitor, maggie2 and vu are not working. There have been several email exchanges between Wajahat and Les, and Wajahat says "These guys are not responding. We are trying to contact them. Already tried multiple times." This applies to vu. Les has turned off the warnings for vu.

MAs are down. Charnsak (by email 10/22/2019) said: "They have changed the Networking policy. The pinger may need to wait for 5-6 months for me to go back (from post-doc at University of Vienna) and change things myself." Charnsak is in Vienna for several months. Both the IPv4 and IPv6 MAs were disabled 11/5/2019. Gathering the data from the MAs has been disabled.
