General

Johari is setting up a web landing site for the Malaysian collaboration.  The start is at http://pinger.unimas.my/pinger

  • brief history, description of the project and the objectives
  • link to main SLAC page and also NUST
  • list of names, contact details (email, etc), their affiliation, and they scope of job in the project
  • a link to the data collected from UNIMAS and also other hosts in UM, USM, and UTM when they have their monitoring host running
  • link to meeting minutes in Confluence
  • We should also have an archived email list.

Johari has submitted a proposal for FRGS (Fundamental Research Grant Scheme). There are 5 members of the proposal (5 is the max). Johari decided to get 2 more people from the group in UNIMAS to join the PingER project, thus we are unable to include our counterparts in UM and UTM (Dr Abdullah and Prof Hanan). We can go for a bigger project such as the eScience or LRGS (Long-term Research Grant Scheme) which can accomodate accommodate a larger number of people, more funding and encourage cross institutions collaboration.

At a later stage the infrastructure and data can be used for research in: anomaly detection; correlation of performance across multiple routes; and for GeoLocation. Johari would like to see UM and UTM, which are research universities, strongly engaged in the next round of research proposals. Anjum mentioned a paper on Evaluation of IP Geolocation Algorithms on PingER and PlanetLab Infrastructures Infrastructures, by Fida Gilani et. al. submitted to IEEE INFOCOM 2011UNIMAS. This could be updated with new data and maybe submitted to a different venue. Anjum forwarded a copy of the paper to Johari, Abdullah and Hanan with copies to the team. The idea is to see whether there is interest at UTM, UM or UNIMAS.

...

Anjum visited University of Technology Malaysia (UTM) on the way back from UNIMAS to Pakistan. He met with Dr. Hanan. During Anjum's last visit to UTM he had asked Dr. Hanan to deploy PingER monitoring node at UTM. Dr Hanan has now appointed Saqib (PhD student at UTM) to complete the deployment. Dr. Hanan sent a request two to three days ago to the UTM network team for a live IP address. He does not expect a problem. Dr. Hanan has also agreed to explore the possibility of having a PhD student work on the data auto-correlation part for link error detections once the monitoring node is set up. Meanwhile Saquib has successfully installed the traceroute.pl and pinger2.pl software on a private IP address host at UTM. It now has a liver IP address try:
http://161.139.146.158/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl
http://161.139.146.158/cgi-bin/traceroute.pl

UM

Dr Nor Badrul Anuar Jumaat is planning to install PingER on a cloud at UM. The machines are virtualized and will be running Ubuntu Linux.

USM

Les met with Navaneethan Arjuman of USM at the TIP meeting in Hawaii.  He seems interested in the research side of things. He is a researcher not an operations person and has been involved in network monitoring for 4 years. He talked of a tool they have developed called INFMON, if I heard right. He also is interested in a research proposal. He also strongly recommends we engage with MYREN. Les tried pinging www.usm.my but pings are blocked. He can ping nav6.usm.my. This host has been added to the hosts monitored from SLAC.
