We have been testing the Juniper RPM probes/agents on our Juniper testbed, for L2, L3 or application (HTTP) layer performance measurements. We have some initial (python) code to extract MIB data towards visualising the measurements. We’re interested to see who else in the community is using a similar approach. A Phase 1 deployment may involve configuring measurements from edge routers to specific core routers (which would be presented to site admins as part of our general portal), and Phase 2 may involve dynamic/on-demand configuration of measurements along a specific path to investigate a specific performance issue (initially at least under NOC control). The talk will include an introduction to the RPM framework.

Afternoon Presentation Session
13:40 30 “Flexible network monitoring at 100Gbps and beyond”, Lukas Kekely - CESNET
As network anomalies, attacks and other incidents are no longer exceptions, monitoring of high-speed links is of utmost importance. CESNET meters are built on NFB-100G2Q card and a commodity server. Each meter is capable of monitoring 100 Gbps Ethernet traffic without packet loss. The functionality of the meter ranges from full packet capture, selective packet capture based on rules, to NetFlow v5, NetFlow v9 and IPFIX flow information export. Moreover, the meter can host any application and deliver packets to the hosted application in a Receive Side Scaling manner.
14:20 10 “Connectivity Fault Management (CFM)”, Robert Stoy - DFN
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is a standardised framework that addresses performance monitoring and troubleshooting challenges on Layer-2 end-to-end services, which consist of Layer-2 segments provided by different Layer-2 service providers. The main challenge is the detection of performance degradation and circuit interrupts together with cause localisation using functions directly on Layer-2. Additionally there is the need for alarming, triggering of consequent actions and support for L2 path analysis from end systems. This talk presents first steps, basics on deployment scenarios, use case examples, concrete use cases, config examples and first results from from a small physical test, internal trial at DFN.
