3rd European perfSONAR User Workshop

Reviewing the conclusions of the 2nd workshop we held last year, we'll see how perfSONAR has evolved since then and what is new today.

We'll discuss what changes you can expect from the upcoming 5.0 release.

Looking at perfSONAR and WiFiMon possible integration and challenges.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Review of the GÉANT Performance Management Platform changes and what to expect for the future.

A look at some new dashboards reporting perfSONAR utilisation and the characteristics of the various public deployments. The talk will also explain how those were built using the Lookup Service API.

This talk discusses the changes that went into the archive of perfSONAR 5.0 as well as some of its motivations and overall impacts. An overlook at the package structure of this new backend will also be presented.

perfSONAR 5.0 will enter its beta phase soon. We'll look at the migration process and at the beta testing program.

This talk discusses some of the pitfalls of perfSONAR's current regime for producing continuous streams of measurements in high-volume environments and what can be done to pScheduler's architecture to improve on it.

An update on the OS that you'll be able to install perfSONAR 5.0 on.

A glance at what the perfSONAR developers will be working on next and a place to give your suggestions.
