The iThena distributed project concerns experimental mapping of network structures included in the Internet. The project is in closed beta phase. Currently, the only application available in the project (iThena CNode) performs a sequence of traceroute procedures from client computers. The resulting data is sent back to the server and submitted to the main database, where it can be further analyzed.
Currently the main supported and recommended platform is x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, windows_intelx86 and windows_x86_64. After joining the project, accept the download of test/beta applications in the settings (all currently applications is in a Beta stage). This can be changed by checking the appropriate box 'Run test applications?' in 'iThena preferences' in your profile after logging in.
Network structure mapping summaries will be available online.
Two applications are currently active: iThena CNode and iThena PERF.
The iThena CNode application tests delays, possible losses and routing of network packets.
The iThena PERF application mainly tests bandwidth to defined endpoints.

New Badges: iThena CNode and iThena PERF - credits points requirements
Referring to the news item I would like to start a discussion on the credits points requirements for certain badge.
The topic on the forum announcing badge: https://root.ithena.net/usr/forum_thread.php?id=83
Preliminary proposal concerning the category "total credit" for individual applications:
====================================== ====================================== iThena CNode Badge: Badge TotalC 2Power ============================== Bronze 8192 13 Silver 16384 14 Gold 32768 15 Amethyst 65536 16 Ruby 131072 17 Turquoise 262144 18 Jade 524288 19 Sapphire 1048576 20 Emerald 2097152 21 Diamond 4194304 22 ====================================== ====================================== iThena PERF Badge: Badge TotalC 2Power ====================================== Bronze 32768 15 Silver 65536 16 Gold 131072 17 Amethyst 262144 18 Ruby 524288 19 Turquoise 1048576 20 Jade 2097152 21 Sapphire 4194304 22 Emerald 8388608 23 Diamond 16777216 24
The credits thresholds may seem quite high.
However, this is only my suggestion.
These applications will also have long support.
PS. At the moment I have small problems with storage, but the PERF application will also be normally available.

August 29, 2020: 1 year of the iThena Project!
Approximately one year ago (August 29, 2019) we launched the iThena Project on the BOINC platform!
As a system administrator I would like to thank all users for their time and help in developing the platform.
In this message I should include more information about future plans, of which there are many.
However, I don't want to reveal all the plans - there are still many things in development.
There are many different technical problems in the project. Sometimes there are new problems. I try to fight the problems as much as possible. But sometimes such a fight takes a lot of time - we can't build everything very quickly (with limited daily time).
In the near future I plan to add new badges. Here was a thread about it on the forum:
https://root.ithena.net/usr/forum_thread.php?id=71
The iThena PERF application should also return to the platform permanently and the tasks for this application should be available all the time.
To improve the contact I decided to create a dedicated Twitter account: @iThenaProject.
URL: https://twitter.com/iThenaProject
The latest information will be posted on Twitter. Of course, it will also be on the official project website.
Use the "Following" option on Twitter!
Many thanks for all your help!
