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."

NUST (Updated 4/25/2019)
Wajahat 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.
- Wajahat said the letter has been received and a written response is being drafted.
- They (NUST) would also be interested in other collaborations with SLAC
- Since Les is no longer an employee of SLAC but rather an emeritus this may complicate things.
- A possibility might be in high-speed data transfer. It would need a champion from NUST, and a plan and funding to provide access to 100Gbps
IPv6 host at NUST:
Wajahat 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. There is not a host name for the MA yet. Hopefully, this will be available by next month's meeting.
Wajahat has 2 students, he will propose some PingER related projects to them.
Wajahat said that contacts at some sites are not very interested in PingER and wonder why there are so many pings. Thus he believes we need new sites representing the regions of Pakistan that have willing collaborators. Thus we should give up on sites such as CAE and ISRA that have not had any data to gather for a year or so. Les has since disabled these sites.
We have not been able to gather data from maggie1.seecs.edu.pk since March 2019. Sent email to Wajahat, he responded that it may be an IPv6 host. Tried accessing using IPv6 but no success. It has been disabled.

Umar compare ICMP and TCP Ping
Umar is looking at the scamper project from CAIDA, see https://www.caida.org/tools/measurement/scamper/. Les will put Umar in contact with the scamper folks (email sent 4/28/2019)
Unfortunately, for the IPv4 vs IPv6 comparison, there is insufficient data (i.e. only about targets)
