2. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate DANTE & GÉANT2 DANTE: –Founded in 1993 by the European National Research Networks –Planning, Implementation and Management of successive Pan-European Networks GÉANT2: –Most recent successor of 7 generations of Pan- European Research Networks –Provides connectivity to the European National Research Networks –Uses leased dark fibre to provide DWDM, SDH and IP services

3. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate GÉANT2: -12,000 Km. of Dark Fibre -200 sites -18 Dark Fibre routes -26 Leased SDH circuits

4. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate GÉANT2 Activities GÉANT2 programme includes –5 Joint Research Activities (JRA) –4 Service Activities (SA) –7 Networking Activities (NA) JRA1 - Performance Monitoring & Multi-domain data exchange JRA2 - Network Security JRA3 - Bandwidth on Demand JRA4 - Test-beds JRA5 - Ubiquity and Roaming (Authentication, Authorization, et. Al.)

5. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate GÉANT2 JRA1 An Introduction Goal is to provide performance measurement data from different networks to users (of different types) –Locating problems on an end-to-end path –Aids in understanding network characteristics Also want –To increase the types of metrics being measured and presented to the user –new tools which can collect and process network measurement data from different networks Developing a framework (perfSONAR) to facilitate exchange of measurement data

7. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate JRA1 and perfSONAR One of the major collaborators in perfSONAR Collaboration with perfSONAR partners for: –Framework Efforts Specification of Services Design and Development of perfSONAR Base components –Base Services Lookup Service Topology Service, etc –Security: Authentication, Authorization, Resource Protection Measurement Archive & Measurement Point Implementations –Many already developed –More planned for future Visualization Tools for perfSONAR Services

8. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate Results -1- JRA1 has developed the following perfSONAR compliant services –Measurement Archive Implementations RRD Files containing Utilization data (Java, Python) –Store and Retrieve Relational Databases –Utilization (Java) –Lightpath Status (Java) –HADES (IPPM) - One Way Delay Measurement Data (Perl)

9. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate Results -2- –Measurement Point Service Implementations SSH & Telnet (Java) –SSH/Telnet into Network elements –Execute a restricted set of commands SNMP (Java) –SNMP Get functionality available –Multiple version support –Discovery of OIDs and ifIndex values SDH Metrics for Alcatel NMS (Java) –Retrieve SES, ES, UAS, BBE Measurements from Network Management System BWCTL and OWAMP –Support for tests

10. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate Results -3- Visualization Tools –perfSONAR UI Access to Measurement Archives –RRD –HADES (DFN - IPPM) –CNM Tool Map based Possibility to visualize many networks –LookingGlass - client for Telnet/SSH MP

11. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate Ongoing/Planned Efforts -1- perfSONAR Base components and features –Scheduler On-demand/periodic measurements Lookup service registrations, de-registrations, etc –PUSH Mechanism Push alarms, notifications and scheduled measurement results Asynchronous –Publisher/Subscriber Model –Data Transformations and event Handling –Support for Authentication and Authorization

12. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate Ongoing/Planned Efforts -2- perfSONAR Base Services –Lookup Service (already has some results) –Topology Service perfSONAR compliant services –Improvements/Hardening of all services –New features for all services –Measurement Point Services TCMP (Passive Monitoring) Status of point-to-point services Hades MP –Measurement Archive Services BWCTL MA, RIPE TTM MA More Visualizations –VisualperfSONAR, perfSONAR UI Capability Enhancements

13. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate Collaboration with other projects EGEE (European Grid Project) –EGEE II started April 2006 LHC - CERN project to support Physicists –Access to Network measurement data from different domains GÉANT2 JRA5 –Security Infrastructure for perfSONAR services GÉANT2 JRA3 –Monitoring information for Bandwidth-on-demand services GÉANT2 JRA4 –Status of Lightpaths GÉANT2 SA3 (Quality of Service and Performance Enhancement Response Team) –Work on common topology database for multiple domains

14. Connect. Communicate. Collaborate Conclusion JRA1 very happy to see RNP joining perfSONAR effort JRA1 has many plans for perfSONAR –Identify common interests between JRA1 and RNP –Share experiences –Work together on design and development Access to RNP data via perfSONAR services and visualize them using tools –perfSONAR UI already able to do this RNP welcome to join –JRA1 meetings (quarterly) –GEANT2 technical meetings (bi-annual)
