- Several sites in Russia (thanks GLORIAD)
- Many hosts in Africa (5gt36 now in 27 out of 54
countries) - Monitoring sites in Pakistan and Brazil (Sao
Paolo and Rio) - Now monitoring 650 sites in 115 countries
- Working to install monitoring host in Bangalore,
India
Monitoring site Remote site
3World View
C. Asia, Russia, S.E. Europe, L. America, M.
East, China 4-5 yrs behind India, Africa 7 yrs
behind
S.E. Europe, Russia catching up Latin Am., Mid

NSK to Moscow used to be OK but loss went up in
Sep. 2003 GLORIAD may help
Brazil (Sao Paolo)
As expected Brazil to L. America is good Actually
dominated by Brazil to Brazil To Chile Uruguay
poor since goes via US
6Achieving throughput
- User cant achieve throughput available (Wizard
gap) - Big step just to know what is achievable
7Collaborations/funding
- Good news
- Active collaboration with NIIT Pakistan to
develop network monitoring including PingER - Travel funded by US State department for 1 year
- FNAL SLAC continue support for PingER
management and coordination - Bad news
- DoE funding for PingER terminated
- Proposal to EC 6th framework with ICTP, ICT
Cambridge UK, CONAE Argentina, Usikov Inst
Ukraine, STAC Vietnam VUB Belgium rejected - Proposal to IDRC/Canada February, no word
- Hard to get funding for operational needs
- For quality data need constant vigilance (host
disappear, security blocks pings, need to update
remote host lists )
8New features in works (with NIIT)
- Improve new site set-up tools
- Improve management
- Discover non working links faster
- Improve access to data and meta data
- Provide data base with lat/long, country etc.
- Add web services access
- Improve visualization
- Provide map with drill down to node information
- Automate production of long term trend plots for
regions - More node selection capabilities
- Traceroute measurement and analysis
