Telemetry and Big Data Workshop

Introduction

The First Telemetry and Big Data Workshop was held online on 10th November 2020, organised by the GÉANT GN4-3 project.

Open to all members of the GÉANT and international R&E community, the workshop had the objective to collect production-level experience on telemetry, the use of very large amounts of monitoring data, their sharing and current efforts on actual use cases. Another goal was to assess the community's interest in and the validity of telemetry approaches and challenges in the use of the large amounts of monitoring information which current networks have to deal with.

The meeting was directed to National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), operators, campus network administrators and network researchers, as well as those interested in handling, sharing and processing of large scale monitoring data sets including its storage, the application of machine learning and the principles of making such data available appropriately to NOCs and researchers.

Date

The organisers solicited contributions based on operational experience, especially NREN testing and experience in the use of telemetry and collection and analysis of large amounts of monitoring information in real time.

The format is of a short talk (between 10 and 15 minutes)

The presenters are asked to include information on:

• Which data are collected and how
• Tools used for the analysis and presentation / visualisation / storage of data
• Benefits
• Issues, challenges and gaps - what you would like to be able to do but cannot

Please email proposals for talks to gn4-3-wp6-wpls@lists.geant.org.

Deadline for proposals :  Monday 26th October

The agenda will be posted by Friday 30th October
