1. GÉANT2 update - II
Otto Kreiter, DANTE

2. E2E monitoring
UP/DOWN status monitored across domains for p2p circuits
15 domains have deployed the MPs (measurement points)
Visualization tool developed by GN2-JRA4
actively used by the E2ECU and NRENs
Encouraging the different domains to include sub-wavelengths info in their MP/MA (ie. GE connections)
Sandbox:

3. E2ECU E2ECU DOES :- Monitor End-to-End circuit
Send alerts about outages
& maintenance
Manage information flow
between domains
E2ECU receives fault alerts from :-
End-to-End Monitoring System
NOCs by
These entities can send tickets to E2ECU :-
Campus Network Administrators
NREN NOCs
GEANT2 NOC
Tickets sent out to parties involved in a particular project, except e.g. research scientists themselves.

4. perfSONAR - MDM
Service desk to support the Multi Domain Monitoring service
Support perfSONAR products developed by GN2-JRA-1
IP performance measurements
Pilot phase of the service being set up by JRA1 and SA3 GN2 activities for 5 NRENs
DANTE Operations collaborating in setting up the service desk
Looking for projects interested in the future to have the MDM service implemented

5. Monitoring summary
E2ECU fully serving the p2p community of LHC & IGTMD
Deisa on his way
Ready to uptake other projects – EXPRES
Involved domains should install the required MP and MAs or
Should list the GE p2p links as well (currently mostly wavelengths are shown)
EXPRES may be interested in the MDM service

6. Procurement update Connectivity procurement on-going
Tenders “will be” for dark fibre if feasible, else 10Gb/s or 2.5Gbps wavelengths.
Key issues are connectivity to existing network and resiliency
Router hardware procurement
In the final phase – tender answers back 21st September
Looking for hardware to replace old equipment!
Key issue: a packet network for the future!
