perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Michael Johnson <>]

Hi Jeronimo,

We have similar use cases here as well; I do think this could be useful to a 
lot of people. Thanks for your suggestion!

In the short(er) term, we plan to add a indicators of traceroutes change 
events to the graphs, which might help you correlate ps test results with 
network events, if not quite as directly. That's planned for 4.1.

Thanks,
Michael
