There is a problem with the UNIMAS traceroute. It appears pinger.unimas.my is behind a NAT that is not passing the traceroute UDP probes. Johari has sent email to the network/system, admins, but does not have a response, He followed up with a reminder. The traceroute/ping server is important for the TULIP trilateration project. If there is no resolution from the netwotknetwork/system people then they will move the server to the DMZ.Johari added the extra 2 Philippines EDU sites (www.swu.edu.ph and www.auf.edu.ph) and MYREN to the UNIMAS monitoring site
Les has started a report on traceroutes from UNIMAS.
Telekom Malaysia, which is the service provider for UNIMAS is currently testing the tested the 500 MBps line from 3rd to 9th of Dec. Hopefully we can gather some info once the data is collected from the PingER monitoring host. No major effect has been seen so farwas seen (about a 10-14% improvement in RTT). It is not possible to turn off the traffic shaping. A performance test would be to set upiperf at NUST and UNIMAS and measure the TCP performance memory to memory. Other measures can be made: using Speedtest (to a Sppedtest Speedtest site as close to UNIMAS as possible to eliminate long RTT challenges again from a browser at UNIMAS.) from a browser at UNIMAS; using an NDT server.
