473 target sites in 79 countries, 36 monitoring sites in 14 countries
Identifies time of occurrence so can report to ISP NOCs.
CERN data only goes back to Aug-01. It confirms S.E. Europe & Russia are catching up, and India & Africa are falling behind
Note for Africa only one host in Uganda. Actually have been adding hosts 5 countries), but there is considerable disparity in performance so as add hosts from less developed countries the aggregate performance measured to Africa is dropping!
Ghana, Nigeria and Uganda are all satellite links with 800-1100ms RTTs. The losses to Ghana & Nigeria are 8-12% while to Uganda they are 1-3%. The routes are different. The route from SLAC to Ghana uses ESnet-Worldcom-UUNET, Nigeria goes CalREN-Qwest-Teiianet-New Skies satellite, Uganda goes Esnet-Level3-Intelsat. For both Ghana and Nigeria there are no losses (for 100 pings) until the last hop when over 40 of 100 packets were lost. For Uganda the losses (3 in 100 packets) also occur at the last hop.

This is the NRI 2002-3 data. The 2002-3 data can be found via http://www.weforum.org/site/homepublic.nsf/Content/Initiatives+subhome
The NRI is developed in depth in the World Economic Forum "Global Information Technology Report" 2002-3. The WEF takes the Harvard CID definition as a basis.
Networked Readiness Index (NRI), a major international assessment of countries’ capacity to exploit the opportunitiesoffered by ICTs.
A community’s potential to participate in the Networked World of the future.
NRI: Construct a network use component that measures the extent of current network connectivity, and an enabling factors component that measures a country’s capacity to exploit existing networks and create new ones. Network use is defined by 5 variables related to the quantity and quality of ICT (Information Communication Technology)  use. Enabling factors are based on Network access, network policy, networked society and the networked economy.
Countries at the bottom right of the right hand graph may be concentrating on Internet access for all, while countries in the upper right may be focussing on excellent academic & research networks.
DoE/MICS research currently supports PingER, but regards as infrastructure and that is not funded as research. Unclear who in DoE (or NSF come to that) would fund.
