perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Nils Jacobson <>]

Hi Robert,

The states differ in that the active tests have seen data within a recent 
time period. BWCTL tests go to inactive after 1 week of no data. OWAMP tests 
go to inactive after 30 minutes of no data. 

I hope this answers your question.
