Federation – Smokeping, PingER Integration

This project is concerned with the integration of SmokePing and PingER as
part of building the federation of measurement infrastructures. Both the
Smokeping and PingER infrastructures make regular measurements, maintain
longterm data-stores, and draw time series graphs, giving information on
the state of each network connection.

The main objectives of this project are to:

1.modify Smokeping and extend its capability to derive parameters/metrics
not currently supported such as ping unreachability, jitter, derived TCP
throughput, conditional loss probability etc.

2.provide the ability to select and visualize these new metrics.

3.evaluate and provide the ability to feed SmokePing data to the Pinger
analysis/visualization toolkit, so we can use the PingER aggregation
techniques to characterize performance by regions, or affinity groups.

4.modify PingER to enable it to utilize the SmokePing time series
visualization tool.
