perfsonar development work

[Jeff Boote <>]

I may need to leave for another meeting soon... So, in case we don't  
get to pSB before then:

1) perfSONARBUOY is currently in testing. The test URL is at: http:// 
dc211.internet2.edu:8080/perfSONAR_PS/services/perfSONARBOUY

Please contact  and  before  
hitting this URL since we are actively using this site for functional  
and performance testing and do not want competing requests during our  
performance testing.

Do you want this information on the test infrastructure page?

2) We have a question on the RPM's. We can create a 'set' of RPM's  
with dependancies (this way pingER and perfSONARBUOY will have common  
dependancies). Or, we can create an all-in-one RPM that installs  
everything in /opt/perfSONARBUOY or something similar. Is there a  
preference for MDM releases?

3) We do not intend to do authentication for this release. This is an  
archive of previous results, and there is no 'privacy' concerns as  
such, so the effort does not seem worth the effort. We intend to see  
how DFN has handled the AA issues, and perhaps work with them as  
things go forward to get this working in the future.

4) We are beginning work on the web-admin interface while the service  
is in testing. We intend to re-use as much of Maxim's web-admin  
software as possible. (We also intend to look at the DFN solution to  
see if that is more applicable.)

thanks,
jeff
