Need to add Umar Kalim to http://pinger.unimas.my/pinger/contact.php. Johari can't ssh into the server so he will go to it on Monday.  He will also upload the new UNIMAS PingER website next week.

Sent reminder email 8/6/2018.

UUM (Updated 7/5/2018)

Les has sent Adib updates to Figs 3, 4, 5 to extend out to 2018. This is for the paper  Socio-economic Development Indices and Their Reflection on Internet Performance in ASEAN Countries

• 121.52.146.180 (kohat.edu.pk) down since Nov 22/2017. Wajahat recommends continuing at least until the new student is up to speed (3/8/2018). No data available 3/24/2018.
• cae.seecs.edu.pk last time we were able to gather any data was February 27th.
• pinger-ncp.ncp.edu.pk pings but can't gather data 8/11/2017 and 9/16/2017. Contacted. Pings but can't gather data 10/24/2017. They are in the process of restoring 1/17/2018. Still down February 28, 2018, await new student. (3/8/2018). No data 3/24/2018. Still down 8/6/2018.

Les has implemented, and we are now successfully using the anonymous FTP server at SLAC as a proxy for gathering data from GZHU MA in Beijing.  This gets around not being able to 'get' the data via the web from the Beijing MA, due to blocks. This may also be relevant for PingER on Android gathering of data, email was sent to Amity.

Looking into moving PingER to a "blockchain" database good for decentralizing distribution of data. Monitoring sites would then be able to write to a distributed ledger. This would Looking into moving PingER to a "blockchain" database good for decentralizing distribution of data. Monitoring sites would then be able to write to a distributed ledger. This would change the architecture to a more peer to peer architecture. It helps with continuity of PingER since reduces dependence on a single site (SLAC). See BlockChain in Future PingER Projects. Bebo sent several references to Saqib who has looked at them. We could start with real-time data without including the whole archive, i.e. in parallel to the continued centrally managed archive. It would be a private Blockchain and hence not be as compute intensive as a public blockchain. 

Bebo's impression is that Saqib will lead in putting the ides in his paper into practice. Saqib will need some students.  Saqib's boss is going to the NY City meeting.

There was a meeting to discuss bitchain possibilities, see 20180709 PingER Meeting on Blockchains.

• PingER now seems to be fully IPv6 capable and stable, the logs have been improved to make it easier to debug problems.
• Les identified and sanitized a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) exposure in ping-data.pl. He will send out a notice to please update.
