Pakistani case study – Zafar, Anju
See the current status of new Pakistani PingER monitoring hosts. Zeeshan working on deployment, the list is the same.
Sadia is working on statistics for the HEC report which will be incorporated into the Pakistani case study. It will have a summary and Appendix. They are focusing on an inter-regional study. This will include routing paths and anomalies, with summary graphs.They are picking one or two nodes per region and then study from it to all other regions. They did not make the Nov 20th date due to Eids. That has been a problem that Anjum has managed to work around. The subsequent reports will be monthly on 15th of the month. Expect to finish by Wednesday next week. Zafar is trying to keep the report below 50 pages. 11/1/2010 we are almost done with draft of the report and finishing the report. There are some interesting cases like intra cities nodes having weird RTT close to 0.7ms. The complete report will be available asap.

Adnan Kiani has just been introduced to the PingER project. He completed his PhD degree this year in communications at Brunel University. He will be taking over the liaison at SEECS from Anjum. Anjum is over committed and unable to commit enough time to the PingER project.
