Digital Divide and PingER

This presentation by Les Cottrell at the ICFA/SCIC meeting discusses the PingER project, which measures and analyzes Internet performance metrics, such as round-trip times and throughput, across more than 75 countries, covering 99% of the Internet-connected population. The low impact monitoring of under 100 bits/s allows for significant data collection while preserving network performance. The findings help identify trends in connectivity and support troubleshooting and funding proposals. The talk outlines collaboration efforts and future initiatives to bridge the digital divide.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Digital Divide and PingER Presented by Les Cottrell at the ICFA/SCIC meeting, July 11 2003 www.slac.stanford.edu/grp/scs/net/talk03/icfa-jul03.html Partially funded by DOE/MICS Field Work Proposal on Internet End-to-end Performance Monitoring (IEPM), also supported by IUPAP

  2. PingER Benefits • Measures analyzes & reports round-trip times, losses, availability, throughput ... • Low impact on network << 100bits/s, important for many DD sites • Covers 75+ countries (99% of Internet connected population) • Provide historical and near real-time quantitative information • Aggregate by regions, affiliations etc. • How bad is performance to various regions? • Trends: who is catching up, falling behind? • Compare vs. economic, financial indicators etc. • Use for trouble shooting setting expectations, presenting to funding bodies

  3. Collaborations & Funding • 35+ monitoring sites in 15 countries • Plan to add ICTP Trieste if funded • SLAC with help from FNAL • Digital Divide collaboration (MOU) with ICTP, Trieste • eJDS • They are looking for a EU grant for eJDS and PingER • Tried earlier this year, but too late • Hopeful next year • Also looking for small grants for helpers in developing countries • Possibilities: www.cos.com, www.sigamxi.com
