  • • •  http://212.118.12.186:8771/cgi-bin/ping_data.pl is working from SLAC. The data looks good.
      • http://212.118.12.186:8771/cgi-bin/traceroute.pl?target=www.slac.stanford.edu&function=ping is also working
    • I need to enter it into the meta database, but need and have requested some information
      • The latitude and longitude (as decimal numbers) of the site.  Within 100 metres is fine.
      • A street address would be nice.
      • The official name of the University/site.
      • The web URL for the university/site. If the university site has a domain then the node name is probably www. If it does not have a domain name then invent one
    • It would be a good idea to download and install the most recent version of pinger2.pl available at www.slac.stanford.edu/compo/net/mon/tool/pinger2.pl in case you need to monitor IPv6 nodes.

  NUST: (No update 1/15/2019)

  Unable to gather data from maggie1.seecs.edu.pk and monitor.seecs.edu.pk. Email sent 1/26/2019

  • results{monitor.seecs.edu.pk}[0] not defined, unable to gather data for 11 consecutive days this month
  • Skipping monitor.seecs.edu.pk(5) does not ping by name or address 111.68.101.10
  • Wajahat fixed maggie.seecs.edu.pk 2/29/2019, Les sent email 2/3/2019 to Wajahat asking about monitor1.seecs.edu.pk.
  • pinger.isra.edu.pk is not pingable and unable to gather data starting 2/11/2019.
    

  Wajahat was unable to attend but provided the following update 12/8/2018

  • "We have been aggressively pursuing the three nodes(121.52.146.180 (kohat.edu.pk) down since Nov 22/2017; cae.seecs.edu.pk last time we were able to gather any data was September 2nd 2018; and pinger.isra.edu.pk no data since 5th Sept 2018, so it is a candidate to Disable). It appears to me that the participating institutes have started to lose interest in the project. Anyhow, we will keep pushing. Maybe a letter of appreciation from SLAC might rejuvenate their energies. What is your opinion?

  • We also need to formulate some research problems that have the potential of appearing in some well-known places. This might help in attracting NUST students which is getting harder these days. I need your help in this regard.
