24th & 25th May 2022

The Third European perfSONAR User Workshop will follow on from the first two workshops and again will bring together perfSONAR user and developer communities to explore use cases for the toolkit, to share best practices, and to discuss future features and the perfSONAR development roadmap.

The Workshop is being organised by the GÉANT GN4-3 project, Work Package 6 "Network Technologies and Services Development", including the perfSONAR development team within Task 3.

perfSONAR is a network measurement toolkit designed to provide federated coverage of paths and help to establish end-to-end usage expectations. There are 1000s of perfSONAR instances deployed worldwide, many of which are available for open testing of key measures of network performance.  This global infrastructure helps to identify and isolate problems as they happen, making the role of supporting network users easier for engineering teams, and increasing productivity when utilising network resources

The event is open to anyone with an interest in perfSONAR.

Registration

Please register for the event here.

Location

Due to the COVID-19 situations, the meeting will be online, most probably on Zoom.

Presentation material

PDFs of all presentations are available within the agenda on the right side of the page.

Call for presentations

Call for presentations is open. If you have a use case, a deployment story or some feature requests to share and you’re willing to present it and discuss it with the community, we’re welcoming your contribution. The format will be a 20 minutes presentation followed by 5 minutes of Q&A. Please send us a title and a short description to perfsonar@lists.geant.org before 25th of April and we’ll get in touch with you.

14:30-14:50WLCG perfSONAR UpdateMarian Babik, CERN

perfSONAR usage in WLCG and a view at their 100 Gbps testing mesh.

14:50-15:10EPOC experience with high speed testingDoug Southworth, Indiana University

As testing at speeds higher than 10G becomes more commonplace, care must be given to hardware selection, OS tuning, and network preparation in order to achieve accurate, repeatable results. This brief talk will highlight some common pitfalls of testing at 40G and beyond, as well as EPOC's experience with resolving those issues.

15:10-15:30perfSECURITY: The Intersection of perfSONAR and InfoSecMark Feit, Internet2

perfSONAR is best known as a tool for measuring network performance, and as such doesn't often cross paths with the information security community. Improvements made over the last couple of years have given it the ability to do more than it ever has, and the development team is starting to expand its reach into other areas.

This session will provide a brief introduction to perfSONAR, discuss how data produced by InfoSec organizations can help secure perfSONAR installations and cover the potential for perfSONAR's use as a platform for deploying security tools.

15:30-15:45Questions and Answers
15:45Break
16:00-16:20MicroDep and perfSONAROtto Wittner, SIKT

Microdep does measurements and analyses to discover routing quality issues. The systems event analysis engine will be presented and its potential future integration with perfSONAR discussed.

16:20-16:40UMich perfSONAR updateEd Colone, UMich

An overview of recent and ongoing perfSONAR development at the University of Michigan. Topics will include WiFi monitoring, pScheduler plugin development, mobile testpoints, and deployment automation.
