- The draft letters of invitation for Sadia and Amber have been sen, however they had the old dates, we are working on a new pair. They have the other docs (DS2019 etc.) Current plan is for arrival April 1st. Any update Amber or Sadia?
- Sadia, Amber and Bilal have their SLAC computer and Wiki accounts. Amber had a problem with her Windows password. The new confluence went into operation. Now the Windows password should work. Does it? It is now working for Amber.
- Zafar received his DS-2019 on Dec 10 (Fri). Applied for visa on Dec 13 (Mon). Interview date was Jan 3, it has been delayed to 24 Jan. Visa accepted now await clearance. Expect ~1 weeks. He has not recieved his visa yet. Hope start march. Any update?
Pakistani case study - Zafar, Anjum
- Pakistani case study is done for the moment. Since I will not be visiting Pakistan in the near future, I have sent an email to Sohail Naqvi of HEC telling him of our case study of Pakistan. Now we need to work with Arshad to decide how to present the results to PERN/HEC. Anjum will talk to Arshad today and after todays today's meeting then will present the case study to the PERN folks to try and understand the problems. PERN are interested in losses, reachability, and RTT. They are also interested in perfSONAR throughput measurements. For NUST this was waiting on the 10Mbps link. This had to go thru NUST who rejected the idea. It is too expensive. There is another link for the research purposes which will be split into 2, part for perfSONAR. PERN will deploy perfSONAR at HEC/Quetta. Someone is working on this. The university is close by HEC/Quetta. Hope in 4 weeks to have PingER monitoring node in 4 universities. More of a research project than a deployment project.
- HEC wants the ability to view just the Pakistan results. Want a view of whatever we are recording. They can use the map to see the topology. Faisal will look at a new user interface with a Pakistan bias.
- Zafar has started taking and archiving traceroutes between Pakistani monitoring hosts on a daily bases. WE need a user interface to select and view these traceroutes.
- The UETTAXILA to NUST report has been updated. However Zafar stopped the pings. he will re-start so we can get measuremens made when the university is in a stable state. During daytime until 3:30pm when the classes are on, internet access is blocked to the hostels. After 3:30pm it is enabled thus RTT increases. Amber will update her description of how this affects the RTTs.
- Sadia is working on prm.pl to add alpha and MOS. I have fixed the creatpage.pl problem. An example of the output from the new prm.pl n_prm.pl is at:
...
- Faisal is working with Yee.## Datagrid module to display tests from all the result set hosts for a selected ## Ability for datagrid module to share data and calls with map.
- Documentation available here https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/Google+Maps+for+PerfSONAR|../../../../../../../../../display/IEPM/Google+Maps+for+PerfSONAR||\
- Zafar - deploy PerfSONAR nodes at SEECS. Second step is to find whether the same can be done at HEC on PERN's network. It is working, congratulations! Is it taking any data?
