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 an unsolicited email:
" We are employing PingER in Hasan Kalyoncu University, in Turkey, for the purpose of conducting researches on the Internet performance in Turkey. 
Actually we have collected data in our node, so we would like our collected data to be retrieved by the archival site at SLAC. Below are the details information on our monitoring node.
 
  • DNS: pinger.hku
  • Public IP:  10.15.2.146
  • Node Coordinates
  • Latitude: 37.014764 Longitude: 37.205743
  • Node Location: Şahinbey Mahallesi, Havalimanı Yolu 8.Km, 27000            Şahinbey/Gaziantep
  • Contact Person: 
  • Name: Mohammed Madi
  • Designation: Assistant Professor in Computer Engineering Department
  • Contact Number: 00905537717593
  • Email address: mohammed.madi@hku.edu.tr
Thank you in advance, looking forward to hearing from you"
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. Adib responded 4/20/2019: "Yes, I know Mohammed, he graduated from UUM (Malaysia), and we worked together at the same department. He is a good researcher. I think, he can contribute to PingER project."

  • Topher is back, Bebo is contacting him him. Any progress?

Adib (Updated 3/3/2019)

Bebo reviewed and responded to Adib suggesting the second one is a better choice. Adib will submit it to the 2nd journal.

 

NUST: 

  • Wajahat also suggested a letter to the higher-ups at NUST about PingER would assist.  Les worked with Wajahat to craft such a letter. It was sent to Wajahat by email 4/3/2019.  It was sent by paper mail 4/4/2019 to Principal SEECS.

IPv6 host at NUST:

  • Wajhat has requested Hasan to install PingER on an IPv6 host at NUST, Saqib has contacted Hasan to tell him where to find and upload the code.

 UAF (University of Agriculture, Faisalabad)/GHZU (Updated 3/3/2019)

Bebo reviewed and responded to Adib suggesting the second one is a better choice. Adib  submitted it to the 2nd journal. He sent email 4/20/2019: "we received an unfavorable response from the information society. So sad that this paper does not get enough attention from journal editors. But I will keep trying, let's pray for the best."

  • Saqib joined the University of Agriculture in Faisalabad. He plans to pursue the blockchain paper.
  • Bebo sent email, see below.  Saqib will follow up.
    • Not sure whether this would be relevant for PingER work - maybe Saqib's blockchain paper? I'm not sure that there has been much discussion re: PingER security - thoughts? The submission is due May 24th

  • Why should we focus on minimum RTT instead of average RTT
  • Are the R plots generated using minRTT?
    • Averages and computed. Min RTT is available. Scripts need to be updated to use minRTT.
  • What is the breakdown of latency between endpoints? If there is a difference, is it because of the type or location of the source? What if the source of traffic was not SLAC? Is there a correlation with the distance between the endpoints?
  • Are the differences limited to a particular region? How do we determine/understand if traffic prioritization is implemented? Test in a controlled environment to avoid variables such as traffic prioritization, queuing delay due to cross traffic. Review the time series of latencies for both ICMP and TCP ping, instead of averages?Is there a difference between IPv4 measurements vs. IPv6.
    • It may be that end hosts which are farther away have larger variances and thus the pronounced differences.

Next Meeting

Next meeting:  There will be a Doodle poll, May week 13th-16th 10 pm Pacific time; a day later 10:00 am Pakistan time; 10:30 am India time; 1:00 pm Malaysian & Guangzhou time;  2:00 pm Thailand time; 7:00 am Jordan time. 6:00am Turkey time.  Any thoughts on time of day. There does not appear to be anyone recently attending from India, Malaysia, China,  and Thailand. How about 9am Pacific time, 9pm Pakistan time, 6pm Jordan time, 5pm Turkey time all on the same date.

Old information

Adib moved here 4/20/2019

  • Adib moved to Karabuk University in Turkey where he is an Associate Professor.  
    • The time difference would probably require a change in meeting time (e.g. 10:00 pm SLAC = 6:00 am Turkey)
  • He will discuss with the department head about installing a PingER MA there.
  • Regarding the paper, it has been submitted to Journal: Computer Communications

    Title: Socio-economic Development Indices and Their Reflection on Internet Performance in ASEAN Countries

    Corresponding Author: Adib Habbal

    Co-Authors: Les Cottrell, Emmanuel Mkpojiogu, Bebo White, Suhaidi Hassan, Faisal Zulhumadi

    Unfortunately, it was rejected.
    Adib, Bebo and Les are looking for another journal, some possibilities include: https://webscience-journal.net/webscience, 

NUST moved here 4/18/2019
