perfsonar development work

[Nicolas Simar <>]

Hi,

SA6 is planning to use some components of perfSONAR to monitor their 
video-conferencing services.

See below their current plan. Comments more than welcome.

Hi Nicolas,


I'm sorry about not coming back to you for a while. It seems, now we
have the very first draft concept on the monitoring we would like to do
with the SA6 group.

Our goal is to monitor H.323 and SIP connectivity between
NRENs/countries, which would require test calls to initiate.

At this stage we have the following plans:

1. We studied PerfSONAR and found suitable for SA6 goals.
2. SA6 would develop appropriate CLI applications to be used as an MP
feeding data into local RRD. The current PerfSONAR CLI wrapper
application could be used to do this.
3. RRD MA could be used to populate this historical data towards the
infrastructure.
4. It would be ideal to use the current PC infrastructure you have
depolyed in the framework of JRA1, MDM, etc. for this measurements. What
do you think how could we step forward with this? Although, the MP and
its wrapper should be conveniently packaged, to allow NREN people to
easily deploy and use it on their own infrastrucutre.
5. In the near future, we have to investigate the possible impacts of
our measurements on other measurement you currently run on the PerfSONAR
infrastructure.

Thanks a lot.

Andras
