TULIP
Les has added a link to Raja's report on TULIP Analysis of alpha as a function of RTT and Region for Europe, North America and Pakistan to the web page https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/PingER#PingER-TULIP.
Raja reports he is working on making input files to test the new code. Previously he tried to manually make the input file (list of min-RTTs from all landmarks) by copy pasting from e.g http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/reflector.cgi?region=Europe&target=193.62.127.224&tier=1&type=PlanetLab&ability=1 but this proved to be quite tedious so now I am writing a matlab script to automate the process. Bilal used such a script he believe but he hasn't seen it in his code filesRaja got married 25-26 December, so there is nothing to report since the last meeting.
Future meeting time - Les
