perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["David A. J. Ripley" <>]

Hi there; I'm looking at setting up a perfsonar test point that will be used 
*only* for ad-hoc testing - getting that out there first, because this is (I 
think) a separate issue from the upcoming unified scheduler:

Is there a current best practice for having owamp and bwctl available on the 
same host, while keeping them from stepping on each others toes? (I can use 
separate NICs for each service, but that creates a different set of 
challenges.)

Based on the docs, it would seem that since bwctl 1.5.1, having testers use 
only the bwctl/bwping clients (rather than iperf/owping etc directly) will 
take care of things, but I'm just checking to see if there are 
other/different/better ways.

Thanks!

D.
