Saqib is starting to look at Pingtable.pl anomalies as a start in a case study for Malaysia and S.E Asia. The general idea of the case study is to be found at: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/Malaysian+Case+study. Saqib is making up a list of hosts in Malaysian states that respond to pings. 

We should discuss:

It is not easy to find such sites in those states. Obvious target is universities, for example UUM in Kedah and UNIMAP in Perlis, but those sites are not ping-able. One way is to approach these universities and explain to them about PingER project and request for the ping packet to be enable.

UM

Dr Nor Badrul Anuar Jumaat has installedl PingER on a cloud at UM. The machines are virtualized and  running Ubuntu Linux. Anjum pointed out that at NUST they are having a problem with a virtual machine running pinger2.pl and the /tmp/ disk space filling up. Anjum is exploring this in more detail, so at the moment it is just a head's up. Johari has sent Kashif's workshop presentations to Dr. Nor.   The name and address of the server is  pinger.fsktm.um.edu.my (202.185.107.238). The UM monitoring host has been added to the NODELIST PingER meta data base at SLAC a nd the <HostList> for Malaysian and S.E Asian hosts has been added to the pinger.xml file at UM. We need to get the latest pinger2.pl installed. Since the traceroute is working, "we" can start to make a routing study similar to https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/IEPM/Routing+from+UNIMAS.
