PerfSONAR - Real-time, multi-domain performance monitoring

perfSONAR is an open-source, modular and flexible architecture for active network performance monitoring that provides a view of network performance across multiple domains, allowing NOC and PERT engineers to seamlessly analyse and diagnose network behaviours across the entire end-to-end path. The tools provided in the perfSONAR suite perform active measurements of throughput, packet loss, delays and jitter, and record network route and path changes.

The GÉANT project offers three types of perfSONAR-related services:

• perfSONAR software development and user support within the international collaboration of ESnet, GÉANT, Internet2, Indiana University, RNP and University of Michigan.
• Supporting the GÉANT community to deploy perfSONAR in their environment as a part of perfSONAR’s consultancy and expertise service, providing advice, training and support for designing and deploying a perfSONAR-based measurement architecture.
• Providing Performance Measurement Platform.
