perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Trey Dockendorf <>]

Does this new feature of using separate NICs for owamp and bw tests mean that 
it would be acceptable to run those services on the same host as long as a 
separate interface is used for each?  I recall there being a recommendation 
to keep bw and owamp tests separate (not on same host) so currently we have a 
dedicated host for each.  Would this 3.4 feature allow both sets of tests to 
reliably run on a single host with a dual port NIC?

Thanks,
- Trey
