perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Mike Cruzz" <>]

Hi Ivan

Thanks very much for that. Yes I perhaps should have mentioned, this is not a
complaint rather just feedback to see if there can be improvements made to
PerfSonar. I really think this is a very useful tool for a network engineer to
use and something which really delivers value more so than other commercial
alternative products.

This is simple enough to deploy and provides valuable metrics that help to
diagnose issues in the network.

Again my feedback is only because maybe this tool is mostly used by research
institutions and they have vast amount of experience in being able to deploy
and build their own custom tuning to port the data etc.

However since I am not on the developer side of the spectrum it's quite
challenging to understand the internal for me to customize the alerting etc in
the code.

If any enhancements can be made in future for the maddash to detect that would
really be useful to cover a VM use case.

I'm fully aware that the recommendation to use this tool is on dedicated
hardware however for SMB that would be cost prohibitive and an alternative VM
solution to deploy perfSonar is a very good alternative which offers the
necessary visibility we lack.

Thanks for the help in replying to the issue.

Regards

Mike
