NSF/LSN/DOE sponsored perfSONAR workshop (Eric Boyd, Internet2)

...
- Embeded linux system (1.4ghz processor, 2G ram) that can be placed in the cisco Cisco integrated services router. It has direct access to the backplane. Has an SDK
...
- Porting the perfSONAR PS tools was straighforward with some pitfalls. There is a perl environment available, doesn't include all the libs we use. Using PAT (perl archive toolkit) to make perl binaries instead. Two services: counters measurement archive (similar to SNMP MA, can use same GUIs to visualize data) and router measurement point (send router commands and get output).
- Future: other psps ps perfSONAR tools will be ported. bwctl/owamp. raw traffic monitoring.
...
- Changed the XML message format slightly (didn't use the standard iso ISO 8601 formats).
Performance Service (Dale Finkelson, Internet2)
...
- Identify problems that may exist (if they do exist), and where, and also provide a usable way to fix problems.
- Service defn definition - not every possible use of the network, but a couple of key ways to do so. Provide a useful interface to pS perfSONAR data (translate from 'operator' speak to englishEnglish). Second level support in solving problems. Making the tools available.
