Not much activity yet on this task force |
Ken reported that the task force now includes several members and is eager to add more members. Information is found at:
https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/PerformanceWG/BCP+-+Task+Force
The current task force goals are to produce three documents:
Work is underway on Document #1.
The Campus and RON Requirements/Best Practices task force took the LHC best practices document (http://code.google.com/p/perfsonar-ps/wiki/Tier2BCP) as a starting point. They will update it to make it fit the more general environment of a campus or RON. Changes will be made on the wiki at:
https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/PerformanceWG/BCP+-+Campus+and+RON+Guidelines
Time line - Finished Document by the next Member Meeting (April 27-29, 2009)
Audience - Measurement Infrastructure and Network Operators
Purpose - Rationale for using tools/Benefits of building a measurement
infrastructure
Status - The task force took a first pass through the LHC document. They need folks
willing to complete a second review of LHC document and contribute to
revisions.
Next Steps - Ken Lindahl to send Doodle Poll to setup next conference call. Homework for conference call participants.
Jeff Boote reviewed the new Toolkit CD, available at http://www.internet2.edu/performance/node/. The perfSONAR PS development team is getting feedback from users and making the toolkit even better. They are also preparing better documentation on individual services and the analysis client. They hope to make use of more and more of these tools in the Network Performance Workshops, to show how perfSONAR can be leveraged.
There is still some development work to do, especially in netflow analysis.
Anyone who can help with testing the tools (or provide any feedback at all) should email performancenodeuser@internet2.edu.
Challenges with transition of measurement tools and infrastructure from research to operations (Carla Hunt)
challenges implementing end to end performance (i.e outreach to researchers)
