There is also a problem of the traceroute from UTM to UM going via Europe. Badrul has contacts at MYREN and will use them to investiate the routing and where some of the routers are actually located.
UM
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. Badrul has a student who will be working on the case study and will coordinate with Saqib at UTM and Johari at UNIMAS to combine results and to put together a paper for the Malaysian ISI Journal probably around the end of June. There was no progress reported on this. Badrul has been looking at anomalies in ping measurements. In particular hosts which are unreliable, hosts with large (>1) values of Directivity, host with large RTTs or losses etc.

Raja has completed converting CGG the MATLAB script to Mathematica and used it to generate some input files for Pakistan and Europe. However using the alpha values (function of both region and RTT value) found through the alpha analysis the distances were underestimates in some cases. He is working on finding the cause and possible solution. Did you get an answer?
