14th & 15th April 2021

The Second European perfSONAR User Workshop will follow on from the 2019 inaugural workshop in London and again will bring together perfSONAR user and developer communities to explore use cases for the toolkit, to share best practices, and to discuss future features and the perfSONAR development roadmap.

The Workshop is being organised by the GÉANT GN4-3 project, Work Package 6 ("Network Technologies and Services Development"), including the perfSONAR development team within Task 3.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, the event will be held online.

perfSONAR is a network measurement toolkit designed to provide federated coverage of paths, and help to establish end-to-end usage expectations.  There are 1000s of perfSONAR instances deployed world wide, many of which are available for open testing of key measures of network performance.  This global infrastructure helps to identify and isolate problems as they happen, making the role of supporting network users easier for engineering teams, and increasing productivity when utilising network resources

The event is open to anyone with an interest in perfSONAR.

Session 3

Presentation 3.1 — In the Wild: Real-world Troubleshooting with perfSONAR — Doug Southworth, Indiana University

While long-term network performance monitoring and measurement is an important aspect of perfSONAR use, troubleshooting issues real-time is equally as valuable. In this session we’ll examine several examples of network diagnosis using perfSONAR and the positive outcomes that came as a result of being able to pinpoint critical infrastructure problems.

16:20-16:40

Central Management Server Setup — Phil Reese, Stanford University

This project illustrates, using VMs, what the document MaDDash Quick Install Guide v4 covers bit by bit.

Andy Lake put together the first version of this document several years ago. That prompted an AHA! moment for me. This project is an attempt to share that AHA! with others looking to better understand the perfSONAR and MaDDash projects.

    Bringing New Measurements to perfSONAR — Mark Feit, Internet2

    Since the first release of pScheduler in 2017, perfSONAR has had the ability to easily add new types of measurements and the tools to carry them out.  This talk will give an overview of the mechanics of pScheduler’s test and tool plugins, the philosophy of test design and the tools available to help jump start the development process.
