perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andy Lake <>]

Hi Bill,

You should not need any special configuration to access the hosts in the 
file. I can reach the one's that are running from Comcast-land so really 
anywhere should be able to access them. The current gLS has a number of 
stability issues and as such will be getting replaced in the very near 
future. Its quite possible some will not respond because they are in a bad 
state. Just doing some quick tests the ESnet and RNP instances all seem to 
respond. 

Thanks,
Andy
