ESnet - Simple Lookup Service (for perfSONAR and beyond)
Sowmya Balasubramanian, ESnet
Design goals:
Design:
Q: Assume one query?
A: No, but want to make sure simple query < 1sec (heard "on average")
http://odev-vm-7.es.net/lookup-service-examples
(dev vm right place)
new Lookup Service and older one are on same host
new Lookup Service ls is 95% faster than old one
1min-> under 1sec
ESnet is using the new Lookup Service
watch for alpha http://ps4.es.net:8085/lookup/services
Q: what is needed to do to move current installation?
store same stuff, different format
How it works today: index servers pulls from lookup servers, create csv
and use csv for initial location finding.
right now, modify script
can talk to both
then don't need a flag day
(or convert index servers to something new)
old approach is SOAP, this is JSON
GENI doing it the same way
new pushes to new
old ones pull old one
Have compatible API for GENI uses too

SFLOW Data Network Visibility and Control
Neil McKee, InMon Corporation
Why monitor everything?
1. troubleshooting - always have context
2. putting network and server teams on same page
(cloud services)
3. full observability required for automated control
control theory 101.
to automate closed loop, have to report all
Q: Danger with OpenFlow features to use for accounting and control?
A: Much better to use wildcards when possible to OpenFlow controls.
