- One would be able to monitor from the monitoring hosts as far as the fixed IP address is available (e.g. to the client gateway/NAT box etc.) which might be good enough for what you need (if one is just interested in the performance of the network). Of course, this assumes the client gateway/NAT box etc. has to respond to pings.
- An alternative would be to use the phone number rather than the IP address. In this case, we would need to extend the current PingER archive to use phone numbers as well as IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This needs some thought. It probably would results in costs based on the amount of data moved.
- Also the record would need to add the location (lat/long) of the mobile client to the data record.
- This is something that someone other than SLAC would need to take the lead role.
