- 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.
- DESY has been restored to monitoring and a traceroute site. Faisal will add to the TULIP database.
- TULIP configured on maggie2. Reflector at SEECS is being used.
- Matlab server is being configured by Bilal for test-bed purposes. This will be on a separate machine to replicate the actual environment.
IPv6 activities at NUST SEECS, Pakistan
Here is the list of activities we have been doing at the moment:
Training and Awareness:
- We have conducted a workshop and a seminar on IPv6
- Another Seminar is planned in the coming weeks.
Collaborations:
- We have created a tunnel with cybernet (local ISP) for global IPv6 connectivity.
- We have been allocated public IPv6 addresses by PSEB for R & D usage.
Implementation:
- We are currently working for participation in world IPv6 day.
- Some of the services that we are currently working on are Webserver, DNS and local connectivity of IPv6 for SEECS users.
- We are short of dedicated hardware for this part and for this our proposal is under review. We hope to have full range of hardware covered once it is approved.
Research:
- We have a team of 3-4 people working on Transition Mechanisms
- Open source implementation of these mechanisms
- Mobility Extensions
- LISP for IPv6
- Hands on implementation on NS2, GNS3

Nodes however are offline since they were disrupting normal traffic. We are waiting for 10 Mbps dedicated connection to switch the nodes back on. - Update
