Purpose
PingER (Ping End-to-end Reporting) is the name given to the Internet End-to-end Performance Measurement (IEPM) project to monitor end-to-end performance of Internet links. The project now involves hundreds of sites in many countries all over the world and we are actively seeking new partners for this project.

http://www.rnoc.gatech.edu/pinger2/, also Johari has created a shell script to automate the installation of pinger package in Ubuntu/Fedora/Centos Linux distro. The finalized installation script for pinger software for CentOS/Fedora based distribution is available from the following url (past the step by step tutorial): http://pinger.unimas.my/pinger/install-tutorial.php. Kashif assisted in testing the script.

PingER2 Data Flow & Access
Work in Progress
- Automating the creation of offsite.nodes directly from nodedetails.
- Automating the creation of beacons.txt directly from nodedetails.
- Document procedures for editing existing nodes.
ePingER
This is a project to provide low cost, low power PingER monitoring or remote stations.
