PingER Malaysia-Internet Performance Measuring Project: A Case Study
Ali, Saqib.
PingER measurements indicate that there is a moderate to strong positive correlation between the Internet performance metrics and economic and development indices available from the UN and International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Therefore, it is critically important to measure and understand the Internet performance of a country and the place where it needs improvement. In this paper, Internet Performance is measured using PingER (Ping End-to-end Reporting), the name given to the Internet ... Show Full Abstract
PingER measurements indicate that there is a moderate to strong positive correlation between the Internet performance metrics and economic and development indices available from the UN and International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Therefore, it is critically important to measure and understand the Internet performance of a country and the place where it needs improvement. In this paper, Internet Performance is measured using PingER (Ping End-to-end Reporting), the name given to the Internet End-to-end Performance Measurement (IEPM) project to monitor end-to-end performance of Internet links. The project was started by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford in California, USA, in 1995. It involves hundreds of sites in many countries all over the world. In Malaysia, the project was started in 2012. Currently, it consists of 9 Measuring Agents (MAs) configured at UNIMAS, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) and MYREN along with 27 monitored remote sites in Malaysia and 94 in South East Asia. The objectives of this paper are to provide an overview of the PingERMalaysia project, to compare the Internet performance within MAYREN, Malaysia and South-East Asia using the PingERMalaysia infrastructure and, to provide recommendations to the subject agencies to improve the Internet performance within the country as it has a strong relationship with the economic and development indices of a country.
