We need to  get SLAC accounts for them  - they need to look at https://oraweb4.slac.stanford.edu/apex/oradb1/f?p=134Image Removed and http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/comp/slacwide/account/account.html and follow instructions

  1. aiou,  lhr (never any data), nwfpuet, uettaxila, uob are down for many days: see http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/monitoring/checkdata/).
    1. UOB is being worked on, by Amber who is in Quetta together Kashif Satar. Once they return from Quetta they will work on uetaxila and nwfuet
  2. There has never been any data from  pinger-rcp.pern,  hu (Hazara), kohat, nca,  pwr.nu, ustb, since though the hosts are in the NODEDETAILS database there is no dataserver entry for each of then in the database. Should there be? They are identified as monitors. Zafar looked at aiou. Email has been sent to all of them. If no reply will call them. Most of these people are cooperative. NCA have made contacts so expect progress. The last mile for Kohat is very poor, may be dialup.
  3. Dr. Anjum is verifying that table.pl at SEECS has all the known Pakistani monitors.  Need to study improvements with pingtable.pl time series and the smokeping plots where we have them. If something has been recommended by our measurements and that has happened and made things better that is very important for the case study.
    1. UET, UOB, LSE, COMSATS do not have the full set of Pakistani beacons. See matrix. The Pakistani monitoring nodes are supposed to get the beacon list from SEECS. – Anjum said he has a student who can fix but need password so they can fix the nodes so they get the list from the SEECS server. They are fetching their beacons from SLAC. Anjum is requesting admins to fix. Working on it, but response from admins is not good. 
  4. We need to understand the high ping losses for UAAR. Sadia please put together a case study. * * Zafar discussed with Sadia and she has started something and it will go in the HEC report. The high losses disappeared in Nov.

Despite the lack of progress on the above items there is enough valuable information to get going on the Pakistani case study. Sadia is working on statistcis for the HEC report which will be incorporated into the Pakistani case study. It will have a summary and Appendix. They are focusing on an inter-regional study. This will include routing paths and anomalies, with summary graphs. they are picking one or two nodes per region and then study from it to all other regions. They did not make the Nov 20th date due to Eids.  That has been a problem that Anjum has managed to work around. The subsequent reports will be monthly on 15th of the month. Expect to finish by Wednesday next week. Zafar is trying to keep the report below 50 pages.

Table.pl extended for Sadia's Pakistani study, getting new wanmon server at SLAC 3 times as fast help with table.pl execution times

Fahad fixed Smokeping error pointed out by Sadia.

Progress on ICFA Report 2011 - Zafar

Sadia and Amber are working on the Peshawar data. Some of Peshawar node show long RTT to other sites  and others have short RTT. Some are going via Karachi.

*Les extended the Africa case study to add BGP p\[refixes/country, max throughput/country, min-rtt/country*

Egyptian PingER monitoring node in final stages of adding, added to NODEDETAILS and TULIP.

Working on Sarawak.

  1. Faisal is working with Yee. Progress - Faisal. 
    1. Added Zoom in based on selection feature. User can select a specific region of a map by holding shift key and dragging through the bounds. Will add to the PingER maps.
    2. For displaying links between hosts, Faisal is using poly-lines to represent great circle routes, rather than just straight lines to present the actual shortest path. Lot of mathematical formulas. Study on implementing Bézier curves which may help better to separate paths.
    3. Representation of data in XML for links and paths. Writing an API so can get data from perfSONAR and provide to the client.
  2. Zafar found a problem in the TULIP map, Faisal has fixed it. Faisal has kept information on the landmarks used RTs etc, which be very valuable later to look at.
  3. Zafar - deploy PerfSONAR nodes at SEECS. Second step is to find whether the same can be done at HEC on PERN's network. Status?
