Subject: Heartbeat #10 From Team 3

1. Task Status:

- Done with the Oral Exam.
- First Algorithm Draft on Testing Session Capacity is Done (by Fritz).
- First Algorithm Draft on Testing Throughput is Done (by Shadi).
- First Algorithm Draft on Testing Session Establishment Rate is Done (by Dalat).
- First Algorithm Draft on Testing Session Stability is Done (by Chris).
- First Algorithm Draft on Testing Data Forwarding Stability is Done (by Tyler).
- We all went to centennial campus on Tuesday to see a demonstration on how to use the AX/4000 Controller Software.
- We met with Kumar and Ralph on Thursday to go over the first rough drafts.
- We have a slight change in plan. Since testing session stability and testing data forwarding stability are very complicated and have not been done at Spirent before, Chris and Tyler may just work together on testing session stability, which will require a lot of researches.
- Also, since the algorithms are a lot harder and more confusing than expected, we need to go through a few more revisions. This will put us behind schedule. We will meet with Kumar and Ralph again next Thursday to go over the revised draft.

Below is the schedule file:

Chris Brezovec - Vice Lead
K. Fritz Lehr - Webmaster
Shadi Eskama - Member
Tyler Humprey - Member

3. Risk Status:

Below is the risk table:

Rank Now	Rank History	Loss-Causing Event	Likelihood of the Loss-Causing Event Occuring	Estimated Severity (or Loss)	Current Risk
1	-	We still don't have the badges to access the lab on centennial campus. If we still don't have those badges for convenient access to the lab by next week, this can push us behind schedule a little bit.	0.4	0.2	0.45
2	1,4,3	Some ACs such as Redback SMS 10000, Cisco 10000 and net.com SCREAM are still in the ordering process. They may not be available for another week or so.	0.4	0.2	0.40
3	3	Many of us have come to the point in the semester where tests and projects are due. Finding time to get to centenial is becoming a problem.	0.2	0.6	0.25
4	-	Additional readings were assigned. Finding time to read all these by the beginning of next week while at the same time revising the algorithms maybe a problem.	0.1	0.5	0.15

4. Problem List:
- We do not have access to the labs on Centennial Campus yet. Kumar and Ralph said that they are in the process of getting us one badge that would allow us to access the lab during business hours.

5. Any other issues you wish to report, raise, address, ...
None at this time.
