perfSONAR services are installed at our 9 PoPs in the US.  Other project 
partners (ESnet, Geant, RNP) have installations on their networks but I 
will allow others who know better to answer the question as to exactly 
where they are located.

Internet2 has installed perfSONAR-PS version 3.1 
(http://www.internet2.edu/performance/pS-PS/v3.1RC1release.html) at our 
locations.  perfSONAR-BUOY is currently monitoring each location, but we 
are only making BWCTL data available currently.  We will be making OWAMP 
data available after the next full release of this service.


> 3) Do you use in each MP, BWCTL, BWCTL MP and OWAMP together?


Internet2 uses perfSONAR-BUOY wich acts like an MA and MP for the BWCTL 
and OWAMP tools.  It does not function exactly the same as the BWCTL MP 
(it does not allow live requests for measurements).

Hope this helps;
