perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jason Zurawski <>]

Hey Trey;

This is great start.  I am going to start compiling the information we 
receive here:

http://www.perfsonar.net/deploy/automated-management

If anyone else has info for the tools Trey mentioned, or others that are 
listed on the page, and they wouldn't mind sharing, please let me know onlist 
or privately.  

Thanks;

-jason
