Looking at http://pinger6.cs.ubru.ac.th/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl?admin_func=pinger_xml the IPv6 monitoring site pinger6.ubru.cs.ac.th has a pinger.xml configuration file with over 160 IPv6 targets. An example is:
| Code Block |
|---|
<Host>
<IP>2001:630:22:1004:800:ff:fe00:27</IP>
<Name>perfsonar-bw.tier2.hep.manchester.ac.uk</Name>
</Host> |
Also looking at the data extracted from http://pinger6.cs.ubru.ac.th/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl?in_form=1&begin_hour=00&begin_min=00&begin_sec=00&begin_day=06&begin_month=10&begin_year=2018&begin_offset=&begin_point=y&end_hour=23&end_min=59&end_sec=00&end_day=07&end_month=10&end_year=2018&end_offset=&end_point=y I we see ~100 different IPv6 addresses. The example is:
| Code Block |
|---|
pinger6.cs.ubru.ac.th 2001:3c8:d109:1300:202:29:20:125 perfsonar-bw.tier2.hep.manchester.ac.uk 2001:630:22:1004:800:ff:fe00:27 100 1538785462 10 10 199.341 199.525 199.980 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 199 199 199 199 199 199 199 199 199 199 |
However, according to http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/pingtable.pl?file=averageThis is a huge discrepancy since according to http://www-wanmon.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/pingtable.pl?file=average_rtt&by=by-node&size=100&tick=monthly&from=TH.UBRU.CS.AC.PINGER6&to=WORLD&ex=none&only=all&ipv=6&dataset=hep&percentage=any (which uses the information in the Oracle NODEDETAILS database) there are only about 13 IPv6 targets responding. We need to get the latest pinger2.pl measurement agent script installed at Ubru so we can get better logging and see why the other hosts are not being monitored. Charnsak plans to remedy in August. For example perfsonar-bw.tier2.hep.manchester.ac.uk is missing
It transpires that pinger6.cs.ubru.ac.th has many IPv6 nodes that are not in NODEDETAILS. We need to identify and work with Charnsak to enter them into NODEDETAILS.
Charnsak is looking at a host in Champasak University, Chan Parsa province in Laos as a potential site for a PingER MA. Charnsak just got approved to make contact with the Champasak University. He expects to set up the MA in the next 4-5 months (say towards end 2018). It also depends on the partner university, and there may be a lot of paperwork.
