14th & 15th April 2021
The Second European perfSONAR User Workshop will follow on from the 2019 inaugural workshop in London and again will bring together perfSONAR user and developer communities to explore use cases for the toolkit, to share best practices, and to discuss future features and the perfSONAR development roadmap.
The Workshop is being organised by the GÉANT GN4-3 project, Work Package 6 ("Network Technologies and Services Development"), including the perfSONAR development team within Task 3.
Due to the COVID-19 situation, the event will be held online.
perfSONAR is a network measurement toolkit designed to provide federated coverage of paths, and help to establish end-to-end usage expectations. There are 1000s of perfSONAR instances deployed world wide, many of which are available for open testing of key measures of network performance. This global infrastructure helps to identify and isolate problems as they happen, making the role of supporting network users easier for engineering teams, and increasing productivity when utilising network resources
The event is open to anyone with an interest in perfSONAR.
Location
The meeting will be held online. Logistics details will then follow.
Presentation material
PDFs of all presentations will be made available within the agenda on the right side of the page.

| 16:20-16:40 | Central Management Server Setup — Phil Reese, Stanford University This project illustrates, using VMs, what the document MaDDash Quick Install Guide v4 covers bit by bit. Andy Lake put together the first version of this document several years ago. That prompted an AHA! moment for me. This project is an attempt to share that AHA! with others looking to better understand the perfSONAR and MaDDash projects. |
