See the Status of Pakistani PingER monitoring nodesPakistani monitor hosts status . Zeeshan working on deployment, the list is the same.
Sadia is working on statistics 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. 11/1/2010 we are almost done with draft of the report and finishing the report. There are some interesting cases like intra cities nodes having weird RTT close to 0.7ms. The complete report will be available asap.
Following suggestions with coloring of table and need to update the introduction. Will have what has been done, what planning to do and expectation s
. What is the current status, need updated file?
What is the status of the HEC report?
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.

I have extended the African case study to add BGP prefixes and pinger metrics for Africa.
PingER
I am still working on a monitor in Sarawak. It appears to be be usong Linuxselinux to block pings & traceroutes.
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.
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 atFaisal has made much progress on the pinger map. .*
Added Features for pinger map - Faisal
- Adding ping, traceroute etc. Under-progress
- Add in Viper capabilities (i.e. paths with coloring) Under-progress

With the move to the new host Faisal had to get a new cookie to allow scriptroute to run scripts on the PlanetLab infrastructure. Still needs testing.
I have written a script to read the list of landmarks created by then use an updated version of dbprac.pl to get contacts and dataserver from the database. Then extract the email addresses and using the CPAN sendmail.pm module be able to send an email to the contacts telling them of the need to upgrade.
Traceroute
Versions earlier than 5.0 have XSS vulnerability. It has been fixed. Now needs to be downloaded and the new version installed
PerfSONAR
Zafar has not had a chance to do much work on it. The VMs are giving problems, changed to VMWaure VMWare but no better. the machines are down. the graph problem is solved. Contacted Jason and pointed out problem with NTP servers. Latency nodes having problems. Working with NUST data center to sort out problems with VMs. Trying to fix the problem or move to physical. Zafar will put together paragraph on what has been working, plans and a picture.
