Road map of IMC paper - TULIP (Jan 13 2010)

1. We have to get delay to distance statistics all around the world: Intra Regional and Inter Regional statistics. (by 21 Jan 2010)
2. We'll try extract following information from those statistics: 1) Delay to Distance constant or Alpha value for each region; 2) Adjacent regions with similar value can be classified as a single Tier; 3) Relationship between delay-to-distance correlation and digital divide. (by 21 Jan 2010)
3. Study of TBG whether it requires some configuration or just the training data. (End of Jan 2010)
4. Get results from Shortest Ping, Tulip, SOI regional, CBG and TBG in different region across the globe (End of Jan 2010)
5. Write the first draft of the paper. (Mid of February 2010)

7. PingER perfSONAR MA - Yee## Writing script to do conversion of pinger flat files into MySQL DB
   1. 1. Likely to use production MySQL Service
   2. Hack analyse-* scripts to use mysql backend

...

1. Work with DESY, FZK, NIIT, NCP to get monitoring hosts up  (Jerrod will read Connie' documentation and see if he can accomplish this, adding to the documentation as he goes along, reading/understanding documentation ) - Jerrod
2. Make RAL a remote node## Have account but cannot ssh to it (sent email to Tasker 9/8/06, await PingER to run) - Les

3. Wiki Markup
   -Toolspecs for Thrulay multi stream (-{-}Les will supply windows/streams for CERN-) \[Done 1/10/07\] - Jerrod, Connie

4. Get architecture of remote nodes and create a web page - Jerrod
   1. Write script to use ssh to get the configurations of IEPM monitor and remote hosts (in progress 4/26/06, will revisit Sep '06, possible project ) - Jerrod
      1. Report on anomalous values - Jerrod
      2. Add Nagios/Ganglia?
