perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Hyojoon Kim <>]

Hi all, 

Our experience with LIVA X as a perfSONAR measurement node was good, so we 
are looking into purchasing more. However, now we see there is a newer model, 
LIVA X2. 

Does anyone have experience with this new model as a low-cost perfSONAR 
measurement node? (both 2GB Memory, 32 GB storage model). I just want to make 
sure I don’t run into unexpected traps and pitfalls before I make the 
purchase, and also make sure the performance will be comparable to the LIVA X 
(or even better..? especially BW tests) 

Any comments will be most appreciated! 

Thanks,
Joon
