Gauging PlanetLab status

Dear students,

I have gone through the nodes available at our site again, and here is an updated list of nodes currently available within a ~3s timeout from IFI/UiO:

• cse-yellow.cse.chalmers.se, Sweden
• planetlab1.cesnet.cz, Czech Republic
• planetlab1.dtc.umn.edu, United States
• planetlab-1.ing.unimo.it, Italy
• planetlab2.dtc.umn.edu, United States
• planetlab2.inf.ethz.ch, Switzerland
• planetlab3.cesnet.cz, Czech Republic
• planetlab4.mini.pw.edu.pl, Poland
• planet-lab-node2.netgroup.uniroma2.it, Italy
• ple1.cesnet.cz, Czech Republic
• ple1.planet-lab.eu, France
• ple2.planet-lab.eu, France
• pl-node-2.technion.ac.il, Israel

Unfortunately, this list is not very long, but I hope this helps you find some nodes having at least 50km in between.

P.S. I have noted down how I gauged this, and provided some helper scripts here: https://github.com/emerald/inf5510v18/tree/master/planet-lab
