Thursday 7th December 2023

SIG-NGN is the Special Interest Group on Next Generation Networks.

This meeting of the 13th meeting of the SIG will be held virtually.

Theme

Performance engineering the research network for science

A core mission of research and education networks is to deliver the extreme performance required by science applications, and to deliver this performance worldwide. Research domains increasingly depend on networks acquisition of date from large-scale research instruments as well as for analysis and scientific discovery.

In a previous meeting we discussed how to best measure network performance. In this meeting we will hear presentation on and have discussion of strategies and methods for exploiting these measurements to engineer our networks for the best possible performance. 

As before, we will be focused on the data and computing workflows from research applications and instruments as well as the observed behaviour of traffic on the networks.

Welcome!
