perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jeronimo Bezerra <>]

Hi Michael,

We have a few long-haul links, and we have at least one network event per day 
involving these links. In our vision, our SDN controller could be extended to 
upload these network events to perfSonar via REST or later via CSV file. 
Then, it would be easier to correlate events.

I will be waiting for this feature! Thanks for your feedback! 

Jeronimo
