Sadia unearthed a problem in smokeping at SEECS. It has been fixed. She also unearthed a problem in table.pl which has also been Fixed. She also spotted differences in the stats reported by table.pl and pigntable.p that needed understanding. Well done Sadia in unearthing and reporting the problems.

The new faster host for www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu is up and running. It is 3-4 times faster for table.pl which now completes.
Sadia spotted a small difference in pingtable and table.pl results. This needs to be looked at. There is also a bug in the SEECS table.pl for dataservers with a @ sign for them, and the colors need to be looked at. Zafar is looking at
Faisal has made much progress on the pinger map. Extend the PingER map (also use for Pakistani to Pakistani subset map for the case study) - Faisal has taken this on.
Added Features

...
- Extend the NODEDETAILS data base to allow entry support for whether the host is currenty pingable.
- Get the MatLab license at SEECS and put up a CGB server using it. The student(Bilal) had exams, will resume work on Monday. Do not have license for MatLab will do on own machines to test and will migrate when have license. Zafar will contact Arshad and Ali. Basically the client will call the reflector with the target. The reflector will return the landmarks and RTTs.
- Extend Checkdata to provide emails automatically, see https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/Extend+checkdata+to+make+it+more+useful
- Add MOS and alpha to pingtable.pl see https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/Add+Mean+Opinion+Score+%28MOS%29+to+pingtable.pl+metrics Radia Sadia will start work on it when done with HEC report, also she is working on her masters classes done, writing thesis. When should we expect progress?
- Improve the PingER2 installation procedures to make it more robust. This might be something for the person(s) in Pakistan who are responsible for installing PingER2 at the Pakistani monitoring sites. They probably have found where the failures occurs. Also look at the FAQ, and ping_data.pl which has been improved to assist in debugging, could it be further improved (e.g. provide access to the httpd.conf file so one can see if it properly configured)? There are 2 students working on the PingER archive. Is this something they could work on?
- Fix PingER archiving/analysis package to be IPv6 conformant. Will build a proposal for an IPv6 testbed. They will try various transition techniques.
