perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Michael Tiernan <>]

My question(s):
1) For entries in the "Inactive Tests" list. Does perfsonar continue to 
check to see if these T/F pairs work even if they're not able to collect 
data or is that list of "Inactives" mean, for lack of a better term, we 
gave up and won't try again?

2) If the answer above is "we give up", how can I (or can I) trigger a 
retry on these sites?

3) Shouldn't the reloading of a mesh config cause these targets to at 
least get tried again? If so, wouldn't it be prudent to put in that 
table "last successful contact" and/or "last attempt made"?

4) How is the "Bidirectional" flag chosen and maybe why? (I believe this 
last question to be something I should've been able to learn from the 
docs but haven't found yet so please feel free to point me at the FM and 
tell me where to RT(FM).

Lastly, a general question that I got asked but had no clue on. Is there 
a map (i.e. Google maps) where all the sites are listed so one can see 
where the relative pathways are that traffic is being tested across? 
(Yes, I know it's not a straight line but it seemed a reasonable 
question for people to know.)

Thanks in advance for any advice/answers.
