PingER Rescue

Currently evaluating status of SLAC PingER data

After the shutdown of the PingER project at SLAC, decades of measurement data dating back to the late 1990s were feared lost. We’ve contacted SLAC IT and are in the process of recovering and archiving this collection for posterity. PingER was notable for its emphasis on creating measurements both
to and from institutions in the Global South, and for its early exploration of possible relationships between national development and quality of Internet connectivity. More details to follow!
