  1. Deployment: Faran
    1. Look into Mathematics of Singular Vector Decomposition technique. (agreed 11/16/06): Faran
  2. Improve web page
    1. Wiki Markup
      -Should the tables at NIIT web site be able to re-size themselves horizontally \[The images do not work right in this case\]: Faran-
  3. Visualization
    1. Wiki Markup
      -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, agreed 2/27/07) \[Done 3/22/07\]: Faran-
    2. Provide documentation (in progress 2/27/07, documented maths of selection 3/20/07, needs updating, agreed to update 3/22/07): Farhan, Faran
    3. Can we add AS's to routes: Yee, Faran
    4. DiscoveryStatistics =>LandMark Analysis one gets SLAC with RTT 0.0 regardless (reported 3/20/07): Faran
    5. Wiki Markup
      -If ping fails in Looking Glass Sites it shows as \-5.0 RTT, should show as NAN (agreed 3/5/07, re-reported 3/20/07) \[Done 3/22/07\]: Faran-
    6. When one double clicks on a row in Ping Results and the ping fails (e.g. host not responding) nothing shows in the  pop-up window. I think some diagnostic  or something should show (reported 3/20/07, re-reported 3/9/07 try Umich shows NAN for http://gate01.aglt2.org/cgi-bin/traceroute.pl?function=ping&target=203.99.50.204): Image Removed Faran
    7. Add diagnostic to Sites.txt to identify bad formatting: Faran
    8. When zooming maintain size of dots (Faran will propose as a student project):  Faran
  4. Evaluate whether using traceroute data helps (Suggested by Umar & Les 2/26/07): Faran
  5. Landmarks
    1. Get more landmarks for TULIP:
      1. China (sent email to ctsnet 7/26/06, reminded 12/6/06, 1/27/07): Les
      2. Try and get sites in Africa (Les sent email 11/28/06): Les
      3. 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, Umar sent email reminders, latest 4/7/07): Faran, Farooq
      4. 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 not clear if one can automate 2/27/07, several are automateable, to prove it Les has added 8, Faran will work on, re-requested 3/26/07 with suggestions): Faran
      5. Get site in Korea (made contact, test case works, suggest case study on S.E. Asia): Umar
    2. Add NetDiGi route servers (asked for 8/30/06, is able to parse them, will look at adding appropriate hosts 3/22/07): Faran
    3. Brunsvigia appears not to accept names, need to modify TULIP to call with addresses (requested fix to TULIP 3/26/07, sent email to S. Africa with what is broken 3/26/07): Faran
  6. 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
  7. Analysis
    1. Literature search on triangulation, multi-lateration: Faran
    2. Wiki Markup
      -Measure landmarks from landmarks \[Done 2/15/07\]: Faran-
    3. Optimize alpha by landmark (after have new location algorithm working, will try 1:2 for US, 1:3 for Europe, 2:15 Africa) : Faran
    4. Document Faran's algorithm, try new algorithm that does not require destination to be inside triangle: Faran, Umar
    5. Analyse the effect of passing IP addresses to landmarks rather than names: Faran
    6. Look at impact of increasing number of pings for getting accurate min_RTT (Faran measured for a few sites, Les gave ideas on how to extend and analyze for multiple sites, could be a major project 4/4/07): Faran
    7. Compare with GeoIP Tools
    8. For US compare Faran's algorithm with Octant (no longer available 2/27/07), GeoIP & simple triangulation for PingER hosts(in progress 2/1/07)
      1. Confidence estimates
      2. Applied to PingER hosts
      3. Outside triangles, area coverage
      4. Effect/need to vary alpha: Faran
      5. Look at big discrepancies
  8. Analysis of Accuracy and applicability
    1. Accuracy vs known locations (landmarks & PingER hosts): faran
    2. Effect of removing, adding landmarks, try for Bolivia: Faran
    3. Provide bubble maps of accuracy: Faran
    4. What area/population is covered by TULIP
    5. Document anomalies  (e.g. root-servers): Faran
    6. Show accuracy by region and country: Faran
    7. Come up with a way to estimate the accuracy/confidence of estimates: Faran
      1. Document in the TULIP web page: Faran
  9. Find out more about GeoIP Tools
    1. Wiki Markup
      -Faran make contact with GeoIP people \[Done 3/20/07\]: Faran-
    2. Wiki Markup
      Find a case where TULIP beats GeoIP Tool \[Done 4.68.116.16, probably backbone routers too\]:
