School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (SEECS) is a constituent college of National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Pakistan - SEECS was formerly known as NIIT (NUST Institute of Information Technology). Since SEECS has been an important collaborator with SLAC, CERN and Caltech, we prepared a case study presenting an overview of the issues faced by SEECS in particular and Pakistan in general.
Currently the PingER project maintains six eight (78) monitoring nodes in Pakistan, measuring the performance of sites listed in the table - monitored nodes - below. The measurements date back to 2003. Since then there has been a gradual increase in the number of monitoring nodes which helps in making reliable inferences. These monitoring sites are deployed in Islamabad at the following locations:
...
Location | No. of monitoring nodes |
|---|---|
SEECS, NUST | 4 |
NCP, Quaid-e-Azam University | 1 |
COMSATS University | 1 |
Pakistan Education Research Network (PERN) | 1 |
Micronet/Nayatel Pakistan | 1 |
Note that Pakistan Education and Research Network (PERN) "is a nationwide educational intranet connecting premiere educational and research institutions of the country. PERN focuses on collaborative research, knowledge sharing, resource sharing, and distance learning by connecting people through the use of Intranet and Internet resources". PERN uses the services of NTC (National Telecommunication Corporation), which is the national telecommunication carrier for all official/government services in Pakistan, for the provision of infrastructure and bandwidth to the universities in Pakistan.
