Workshops
Johari was is putting together a web site for the workshop at UNIMAS. Progress.

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. Other hosts at UNIMAS are not seeing the problem, so Johari believes it may have to do with the IPTABLES in pinger.unimas.my. Traceroute using the -I option (send the probes using ICMP rather than UDP) seems to work (but needs root access). Thus it would appear not to be in the return (ICMP "time exceeded") response. The probes (when not using the -I option are UDP packets using sequentially ports 33434 - 33465 (for up to 30 hops). It is possible that ports > some number may be blocked. J
Johari has ohari will set up a guest account for Anjum who will logon and look around and see if he can assist. The traceroute/ping server is important for the TULIP trilateration project.
Johari suggested and agreed to set is setting up a web landing site for the Malaysian collaboration. It will contain the objectives, coordinates for the team members etc. The SEECS and SLAC PingER sites will have links to it. It would also be good to have an archived email list for communications. Progress
- 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
UTM
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.
