Bebo White arranged a video meeting with people from RENATA and the ICT Ministry in Colombia on 1/20/2015. They have published a paper on some of their activities. A way forward would be to install one or more PingER monitoring hosts in Colombia so we can start to measure the end-to-end Internet performance from within Columbia.
Current situation 1/23/2015
We have been monitoring Universidad de Los Andes, Bogota since Feb 2007. It currently (last 120 days) appears as:
Where the blue background means no packets lost. It looks pretty good, no day/night differences (which would indicate congestion) . Couple of spikes. Low losses.
The route from SLAC appears to go from SLAC to Sunnyvale to Los Angeles, to Texas, to Florida, to Venezuela, to Columbia
| Overall route | US portion | Annotated traceroute |

Extension
We have added 4 hosts in Colombia, 2 in Bogota, 2 in Medellin. We now have;
- Universidad Cooperativa de Colomba, Bogota
- Universidad de Santander, Medellin
- Universidad EAFIT, Medellin
- Universidad de La Salle, Bogota
- Universidad de Los Andes, Bogota
Of these Universidad de Los Andes, Bogota has been made a Beacon so it is monitored from other PingER monitors besides SLAC.
