- If there are other sites in Jordan that should be monitored from say SLAC and Jordan please let me know the details and you can add them to the PingER Oracle NODEDETAILS database, so they are monitored from SLAC. If they are to be monitored from Telephoenics then they will need to be added to the <HostList>stanza of the Telephoenics pinger.xml.
- Sent email 4/18/2019: E.g. say you wanted to add alias=JO.EDU.GJU.WWW then click on the above link and you will get information like:
NODENAME: www.gju.edu.jo IPADDRESS: 87.236.233.242 SITENAME: gju.edu.jo NICKNAME: JO.EDU.GJU.WWW FULLNAME: German Jordanian University LOCATION: German Jordanian University, Amman Madaba Street, Amman, Jordan COUNTRY: Jordan CONTINENT: Middle East LATANDLONG: 31.7769 35.8 PROJECTTYPE: NOT-SET PINGSERVER: NOT-SET TRACESERVER: NOT-SET DATASERVER: NOT-SET URL: http://www.gju.edu.jo/ CONTACTS: Google COMMENTS: Add by Cottrell 5/17/2018.
Following this information you will need to edit pinger.xml to add a stanza in <HostList></HostList> of the form:
<HostList><Host> <EnableDNSCache>false</EnableDNSCache> <IP>87.236.233.242</IP> <Name>www.gju.edu.jo</Name> </Host> </HostList>
- Baraa responded 4/18/2019: "Sorry for this delay we have finished our mid term exams, I gathered a set of host and will filter them according to the given criteria by this weekend. In Jordan the weekend is Friday and Saturday."
- Baraa asked what the criteria are for choosing targets, emailed him (4/4/2019) about Finding PingER Hosts.
- Baraa provided details of 4 sites apparently in Jordan. However, only two had RTTs of > 80ms as seen from SLAC. Thus they are probably proxies in North America. These two have RTTs from Jordan of 80ms which probably means they are proxies in Europe.

Email from Eyad Ayoubi 3/16/2019.

Les sent email 4/3/2019. Response 4/4/2019: "I am asking about the process of having public IP address because I understood that we need public IP for the agent". Email (4/18/2019) from Les confirming need for IP address, plus a registered DNS name also simplifies things.
Eyad responded: "I have gathered some information about how to have a public IP address and it seems it is not complicated, just a subscription with the ISP, I will discuss in the next meeting"
We also received email:
" We are employing PingER in Hasan Kalyoncu University, in Turkey, for the purpose of conducting researches on the Internet performance in Turkey.

Unfortunately this appears to be a private IP address so is not accessible. Les sent an email 4/19/2019 to Mohammed. Also sent email to Adib (who is in Turkey) and Eyad in case they know the person or site.
