- Deployment: Faran
- Provide a program API: Faran, Shahryar (dropped)
- Refine the list in Sites.txt by writing a script that will run TULIP HTTP requests to ping to see which landmarks are not responding (agreed 11/16/06): Faran
- Provide opotion so that Sites.txt can be modified from TULIP. (agreed 11/16/06, currently the master is kept at SLAC and one has to logon to SLAC to modify it): Faran
- Ignore comments in mid line (agreed 11/30/06): Faran
- Look into Mathematics of Singular Vector Decomposition technique. (agreed 11/16/06): Faran
- Visualization
- Make tables sortable (working on 5/25/06, re-agreed 8/3/06, re-requested 8/21/06, done for the RTTs 8/22/06, can we do with buttons for all columns): Faran
- Can we add AS's to routes: Yee, Faran
- Integrate with Google maps: Faran
- When zooming maintain size of dots: Faran
- Landmarks
- Get more lanmarks for TULIP:
- Sent email Latin America (5/7/06, 11/25/06): Les
- Follow up on positive response from CUDI Mexico (reminded 1/12/07): Les
- China (sent email to ctsnet 7/26/06, reminded 12/6/06): Les
- Try and get sites in Africa (Les sent email 11/28/06): Les
- COMTEC, Japan (Faran send email reminder 5/25/06, agreed to send another reminder 6/7/06, Umar will check with Farooq 11/16/06): Faran, Farooq
- Add traceroute/Looking Glass servers in critical areas, if they have a common format (asked for 11/15/06, Les did a manual look at traceroute.org and found about 20 potential landmarks 11/17/06): Faran
- Sent email Latin America (5/7/06, 11/25/06): Les
- Add NetDiGi route servers (asked for 8/30/06): Faran
- Landmarks:
- pinger.ntc.net.pk denies accesss (email to Azher & Faran 7/25/06, Azher responded that he is checking 7/27/06, email sent again 8/21/06, Azher knows about will send person to repair 8/22/06) see also above for the PingER node at this site: Faran/Azher
- Enable landmarks that only work for IP addresses: Faran
- Get more lanmarks for TULIP:
- Apply to PingER node database to check the lat/longs are roughly correct (tried with 300-400 sites but cannnot get results due to fragile Internet at NIIT, will interact with Akbar to make tests at SLAC 8/31/06, exchanged emails on list of PingER hosts to locate 9/3/06): Faran
- Analysis
- Literature search on triangulation, multi-lateration: Faran
- Compare with GeoIP tools: Faran
- Measure landmarks from landmarks: Faran
- Document Faran's algorithm, try new algorithm with optimized alpha that does not require destination to be inside triangle: Faran, Umar
- Analyse the effect of passing IP addresses to landmarks rather than names: Faran
- Compare Faran's algorithm with Bamba's, Octant & simple triangulation
- Contact Bamba to find out if http://planetlab-01.ipv6.lip6.fr:10000/cbg.php works for any sites (email send 4/21/06): Aziz
- Confidence estimates
- Applied to PingER hosts
- Outside triangles, area coverage
- Analysis of Accuracy and applicability
- Accuracy vs known locations
- Effect of removing, adding landmarks, try for Bolivia:Faran
- Comparison with other sets of landmarks & methods (can't do Bamba since it is down), Octant, NetGeo for accuracy coverage etc.
- Provide bubble maps of accuracy: Faran
- Review difference between Guthrie and TULIP
- For US using Octant: Faran
- Look at big discrepancies: Faran
- Compare with GeoIP: Faran
- What area/population is covered by TULIP
- Document anomalies (e.g. root-servers): Faran
- Show accuracy by region and country: Faran
- Come up with a way to estimate the accuracy/confidence of estimates: Faran
- Document in the TULIP web page: Faran
