E2Epi Network Performance Workshops Eric L. Boyd
What’s the problem? • Diagnosing E2E problems is often: • ad hoc • time consuming • “unfair” / not uniform • Example
E2Epi Network Performance Workshop • Announcement: Internet2 has begun a new series of workshops • Focus: Performance Tools • BWCTL, OWAMP, NDT • Installation • Use • Integration into IT support process • Approach • Hands on • Interactive
Performance Tool Beacons • BWCTL / Iperf • Throughput tool with resource allocation broker • Iperf is a tool developed by NLANR/DAST • OWAMP • One-way latency tool (one-way ping) • NDT • First-mile diagnosis of commonly encountered problems
Workshop Deliverables • Working installation of BWCTL, NDT, and OWAMP at GigaPoP • Working installation of BWCTL, NDT, and OWAMP at each campus • Exchange of “keys” among campuses and GigaPoP • Community of Collaborative approach to performance diagnosis
Workshop Host / Audience • Each workshop has a host, expected to be a campus / GigaPoP • Audience is network engineers from a GigaPoP and associated campuses • Host must identify audience, make invitations, provide networking
Workshop History • Developed/taught by Internet2 PAT Team (Spring ’05) • SOX, hosted by GaTech (March ’05) • http://e2epi.internet2.edu/network-perf-wk/gatech/agenda.html • CENIC, hosted by UCLA (June ’05) • Joint Techs – Vancouver (July ’05) • Orthogonal to focus on GigaPoPs • Good opportunity to “kick the tires” • After that, TBD …
What’s Next? • The focus of this workshop is on building standalone tool “beacons” for prepositioned on-demand testing. • We are currently developing (in conjunction with GÉANT2 JRA1) a measurement framework for: • Regularly Scheduled Tests • Measurement Point Discovery • Alpha participants in measurement framework will be drawn from “deployment footprint”
