Renan

...

  • He has data for allyearly, allmonthly and last 60days for all 10 metrics.
  • The crontabs to update the data are running pretty smoothly
  • The pre alpha data is available publicly.
    For the Linked Open Data / RDF which is in pre-alpha days, you can go to http://pingerlod.slac.stanford.edu. As can be seen this page is not ready for prime time. However the demos work as long as one carefully elects what to look at:
    • Click on Visualizations, there are two choices:
      • Multiple Network Metrics: Click on the image: gives a form, choose from Node pinger.slac.stanford.edu pinging to www.ihep.ac.cn, time parameters yearly, 2006 2012, metrics throughput, Average RTT Packet loss and display format Plot graph, then click on submit. In a few seconds time series graph should come up. Mouse over to see details of values at each x value (year).
      • A mashup of network metrics x university metrics Click on image: gives another form, pinging from pinger.slac.stanford.edu, School metric number of students, time metric years 2006 2012, display format plot graph, click on submit. Longer wait, after about 35 seconds a google map should show up. Click on "Click for help." Area of dots = number of students, darkness of dots = throughput (lighter is better), inscribing circle color gives university type (public, private etc.) Click on circle for information on university etc.
  • He will be working on providing documentation on the programs, in particular the install guide for the repository and web site etc. This will assist the person who takes this over. Also he will look at how to make it easier to update the help for http://pingerlod.slac.stanford.edu rather than need a new war file for any update.

Johari needs a public DNS for his Raspberry Pie. Anjum suggested Johari move the Raspberry Pie to the data center based on SEECS experiences with Load Balancers. This may also assist with the traceroute problem and make it easier to get a public DNS. Update Johari
