- nwfpuet, uettaxila, ustb (has never been any data), uob are down for several days: see http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/monitoring/checkdata/). Kashif Sataar of SEECS is managing the hosts and contacts host contacts in case of problems. Is this happening?
Wiki Markup UPesh problem: Dr. Anjum will email them about this. They were pursuing the wrong problem before that. See \[http://pinger.seecs.edu.pk/checkdata/\] and "try to get data" for UPesh. UPesh is gathering data but there is "0" at the end of each entry which means that it didn't receive anything back.
- Future visits to the provinces of Balochistan and KP (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).
- Kashif Sattar of SEECS is deploying and managing hosts and contacts. Muhammad Zeeshan will slowly be taking over from Kashif Sattar (who is leaving if he is not granted an extension by NUST).
- Dr. Anjum Zafar is verifying that table.pl at SEECS has all the known Pakistani monitors.
- About 10 nodes do not have complete information and thus aren't pinging other nodes. Dr. Anjum will look into this. This has to be done one by one in order to keep things clear.
- Dr. Anjum will also send information for those nodes which are missing from the nodes list. Zafar will add those to the PingER and TULIP databases.
- UET, UOB, LSE, COMSATS do not have full set of Pakistani beacons. See matrix. The Pakistani monitoring nodes are supposed to get the beacon list from SEECS. – Anjum said he has a student who can fix but need password so they can fix the nodes so they get the list from the SEECS server. Is there any progress?
- UOB, UETTaxila: Dr. Anjum will contact them about this.
- There appears to be an anomaly in the RTTs to vle.iiu.edu.pk (AKA PK.IIU.EDU.N2) from the Pakistani monitors it is over 200ms while from SLAC as displayed in pingtable.pl it is 67ms. Yet if I do it from the command line it is ~ 310ms from pinger. The traceroute shows it as going via London and Singapore which suggests it is on its way to Pakistan. This needs investigating. Pingtable.pl is current as of yesterday so maybe something happened between then and when I pinged a few minutes ago. Also www.iiu.edu.pk has an RTT from SLAC of 177ms. TULIP shows it as in Europe. Thus I have removed this host from the NODEDETAILS database since it is probably a proxy and not in Pakistan..
Problem with UPESH node, it is not pinging, a ping with custom target also doesn't work. Traceroute works. Moreover the node is pingable from SLAC which dismisses the possibility of pings being blocked.Wiki Markup *\[Pending by Dr. Anjum\]*

Dr. Les and Zafar need to discuss on what to keep and what to remove from ICFA report. What shall be the contents of the report?
PerfSONAR
- Can we install perfSONAR services on host in PERN network. Faisal is learning perfSONAR so at a later date this may be an interesting project.
- Faisal is working with Yee. Progress - Faisal

- Big problem with integrated version of Apollonius and Tri-Lateration not working in TULIP Live - Faisal
Zafar is still trying to get license for MatLab so we can make CBG be a service. Communicating with MathWorks. Tried the download but it failed. Sent MathWorks an email, they replied but I couldn't see it today. Is there any progress? There is no progress on this as I have been working on ICFA report and reflector problems.Wiki Markup *\[Pending by Zafar\]*
TULIP GUI - Faisal
- Live GUI:
- Needs refactorization.
PendingWiki Markup *\[
Adding other geolocation estimates to GeoIPTools (GeoTools, IPLocationTools, whois, shortest ping ...) to come. Some things are ready to be installed when the trilateration & apollonius work Added InfoDB to the live TULIP GUI.Done - Faisal\]*
TULIP map - when one clicks on a balloon:Wiki Markup *\[Done by Faisal/Zafar\]*
- Instead of labeling aPingER etc, label as active PingER, PlanetLab, PerfSONAR.
- Ping me feature is missing from PerfSONAR and some other nodes.
- Change URL to pingURL from database for nodes that have tracerouteURLs.
- Make URL clickable.
...
- Add traceroute & ping to my host and to selected host - Faisal
- Build on TULIP map
- The advantage compared to other traceroute maps is that the laundering keeps only good servers.
- This awaits Anjum's return.
- Imran Bajwa is an undergraduate student in his senior year. He may be interested.
- Dashboard for PingER management. Faisal will start correspondence. Two students: Saadia and Amber can work on the interface.
Put up an explanation for re-implementation of CBG algorithm (currently in Matlab code). Zafar can also collaborate with Anjum, a new faculty member and a student who can work on this.Wiki Markup *\[Pending by Zafar\]*
Future - Les
Umar has yet to talk at length with Anjum/Arshad. Any progress?
