2nd Joint APAN-TEIN-Internet2-TransPAC4 perfSONAR Training WorkshopAPAN40 – 10 August 2015 – Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Supported by: Internet2 TEIN project APAN TransPAC4 project Date : 10 August 2015 Time : 9.00am – 5.30pm Venue : Azalea Room, Level 3, Institute of Graduate Studies (IPS) Building, University of Malaya Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia AbstractperfSONAR is an open source software suite that provides a robust set of network performance monitoring tools. These tools make it easier to solve end-to-end network performance problems on paths crossing different network domains, as well as local monitoring. The perfSONAR toolkit provides a federated performance environment that is now the defacto measurement standard deploy on REN globally. The proposed workshop will introduce the concept of network performance, and tools monitor tools. We will present an overview of network performance measurement tools and techniques, focusing on the deployment of the perfSONAR toolkit. Attendees will learn how to install and use perfSONAR, and how to integrate their testing needs with that of the large research community. Goals of this tutorial include familiarizing attendees with the proper way to install and configure software, as well as how these tools aid in debugging complex problems.
Participants will be given instruction through lecture, as well as hands-on activities. The primary goals of the tutorial are:
Tutorial RelevanceGlobal scientific innovation requires use of the network. Users, resources, and data sets are often physically distributed, thus placing extreme emphasis on the importance of network reliability and performance assurance in the overall research workflow. As the R&E community increases capacities beyond 100Gbps, grows the number of users and devices that are connected, and reaches into new locations around the globe, simple performance problems still will remain. Addressing the concerns through software and knowledge transfer will prepare those on the front lines to innovate without boundaries. Tutorial attendee pre-requisite and follow-upAttendees of the tutorial should either be network engineer managing a campus network and/or National research and Education Network. Attendees will be required to deploy perfSONAR in their respective organisations as well as assist other organization in deployment of perfSONAR in their country. Selection CriteriaParticipants will be selected based on the following criteria:
Tutorial ContentThe tutorial content will broach the following subjects:
Tutorial OutlineThe following outlines the full day workshop:
Demonstration and Exercise DescriptionThis tutorial features a hands-on component consisting of virtual servers, located offsite, which participants will access when installing the pS-Performance Toolkit software. They will continue to have access for a short period of time afterwards to perform experiments and become familiar with the operational requirements. The following sections will detail the expected interactions by participants, the makeup of the testbed, and the prior experience in setting up/testing these proposed exercises.
