perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Niederberger, Ralph" <>]

Dear Antoine,


The main new feature of MDM 3.2. is
(see: https://wiki.man.poznan.pl/perfsonar-mdm/index.php/PerfSONAR_v3.2): 

===========
What's New
The perfSONAR MDM 3.2 introduces the following main features: 

- BWCTL MP can now send available throughput measurement results into SQL MA

- SQL MA can now accept, store and publish available throughput measurements

  from BWCTL MP 
- Naming of distribution packages is consistent and conforms to operating 
  systems policies 
For more information, check the release notes for the change logs
===========

Bullet 1 is nearly the same as bullet 2.
Bullet 1 says BWCTL can send the date and bullet 2 says SQL MA can accept
this data.
Bullet 3 is fine, but does not really add anything.

So what you say is the following? 

"Unfortunately the additional function, described in bullets 1 and 2, is not
available yet in MDM 3.2."

Is this right?

Furthermore it seems that "Command Line MP" has been dropped in MDM 3.2?
So OWAMP is not possible anymore?

Best regards

Ralph
