perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jason Zurawski <>]

Greetings:

This is the notification that the scheduled the End of Life (EOL) for
perfSONAR version 3.4.x will be Friday April 8th, 2016.  All
architectures and products related to pS Performance Toolkit v3.4.x
(i386, x86_64) are impacted, and the software will be removed from the
active mirrors on that date. 

A frozen version will be migrated to a vault (instructions will be
provided for use of this construct at a later date) where v3.4 of this
software will remain available indefinitely.  You may use the vault in
the same way you have used the mirrors in the past, however no updates
will be released for any of the software in this location moving forward.

As of October 12th 73% of perfSONAR instances are converted to 3.5.x,
the remaining percentage is a mixture of 3.4.x instances (about 15%), as
well as some older unsupported products.  The perfSONAR project strongly
recommends that you migrate any old installations to the latest version
(3.5) before the EOL date to reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities. 

Thanks;

The perfSONAR Development Team
