When zooming maintain size of dots (Faran will propose to Umar as a student project 4/10/07, he is concerned about the download time, assigned to Rehan 5/10/07, has images, will be a separate jar file to reduce disturbance, Rahan hopes to start after examine in two weeks 6/13/07, work in progress 7/26/07 faran is tracking Rehan's work): Faran, Rehan
Need a way to display alphas used: Faran
Bugs:
Sorting on header in Site Lists does not work (7/3/07): Faran
Traceroute Results table does not sort when clicking on column headings (7/5/07): Faran
Reduce size of Traceroute Results pane now traceroute is not done automatically (agreed 7/26/07): Faran
Improvements
Allow alpha to change (lot of work, many changes, could improve, need analysis & understanding*)*
Left hand pane labeled Looking Glass, should be Landmarks.
Look at using PingER historical data to optimize alpha (agreed 4/12/07): Faran
Evaluate whether using traceroute data helps (Suggested by Umar & Les 2/26/07, could add 3 more RTTs to minimize from): Faran
Add traceroute location and GeoIP Tool: Faran
Logs
Review logs to see if complete: Faran, Les
Add timestamps, make sortable with offsets (7/9/07): Faran
Add fully qualified dns name of client (7/11/07): Faran
Add IP address: Faran
Add password protection to reviewing logs(7/11/07): Faran
Add log of failures, successes (7/11/07): Faran
Add tiering (need to allow scaling to large numbers of landmarks) (7/6/07): Faran
Need a State column adding to the Sites List so can have tier 0 and 1 hosts and even Disable hosts without losing information (7/5/07), Faran looking at how to implement 7/26/07): Faran
Decide whether to use PlanetLab as tier1 and others as tier0 (may be problem that will not have PlanetLab hosts in developing countries): Faran
-Research effectiveness of tiering \[Done for N America & Europe\]: Shahryar, Les-
Use proxy for making landmark requests (for log auditing, blocking, PlanetLab cookie) (7/6/07): Faran
CGI script on proxy (limit simultaneous calls): Les, Shahryar
Landmarks
Get more landmarks for TULIP, ideally need at least one landmark in all major developing countries that do not have direct connections to nearby countries.:
China (sent email to ctsnet 7/26/06, reminded 12/6/06, 1/27/07): Les
Try and get sites in Africa (Les sent email 11/28/06): Les
Add traceroute/Looking Glass servers in critical areas, if they have a common format (asked for 11/15/06). Nothing useful inhttp://www.caida.org/analysis/routing/reversetrace/. 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 is having problems with blocking after several accesses, will get a list then will try and contact to open up 5/10/07, Les sent another list from traceroute.org of some potential sites in East Asia and E. Europe): Faran
Look into PlanetLab (18 China, 6 Brazil, 2 Uruguay, 2 Puerto Rico, plus lots in Europe and N. America): Shahryar, Faran
Shahryar will send information to Faran 6/28/07: Shahryar
Integrate script with TULIP: Faran
Shahryar is writing CGI script in Perl so can use single host to make requests, at same time learning Perl so progress slow (7/26/07): Shahryar
Will also need to ensure data is correct before making request: Faran
Add NetDiGi route servers (asked for 8/30/06, is able to parse them, will look at adding appropriate hosts 3/22/07): Faran
Analysis (need for examination 5/31/07)
Provide API (agreed 6/28/07, changes to TULIP mean current API is not working): Faran
Literature search on triangulation, multi-lateration: Faran
Optimize alpha by landmark (after have new location algorithm working, will try 1:2 for US, 1:3 for Europe, 2:15 Africa, done at NIIT, need to deploy at SLAC 4/10/07, Faran is worried about how to group nodes by region etc. and anomalies 6/13/07), hope to review results by 6/5/07): Faran
Document Faran's algorithm, try new algorithm that does not require destination to be inside triangle: Faran, Umar
