6. Perfsonar Here is a suggested list of baseline data that networks should make available: Ping (round-trip latency) OWAMP (One-way latency) BWCTL/IPERF (TCP Throughput) Traceroute SNMP (Utilization, Errors) Link-Status (Up/Down, AdminUp, AdminDown) Circuit-Status (Logical mapping of multi-domain)
7. PerfSonar Here is a recommended list of tools to have available in an on-demand diagnostic sense: Reverse-Ping (round-trip latency) OWAMP (One-way latency) BWCTL/IPERF (TCP Throughput) Reverse-Traceroute The set of Metrics and on-demand diagnostic tools for specific networks will vary based on the type of infrastructure they are providing. For example, some will not have the ability to inject traffic into the networks they are providing which would make the active tools unavailable.

20. Network Services TransPAC3 & ACE will provide high performance (HP) research & education network connectivity between the US, Asia, & Europe. We want to do more: Develop documentation to increase the ease of use Dedicated infrastructure for data movement Install HP data movers in PoP’s Through IRIS & DyGIR we will provide advanced monitoring and dynamic circuit services
21. Data Logistics Toolkit (DLT) The Data Logistics Toolkit (DLT) integrates a set of storage and networking technologies to create WAN-enabled storage nodes that can dramatically improve the ability of data intensive research communities to collaborate in the wide area. A key DLT service is implementing a global “drop box” that supports automatic data postitioning. This will enable automation and optimization of rapid movement and timely placement of data, across a wide range of scenarios, through policy-controlled sharing, replication, caching, control loop optimization and overlay multicast. The DLT's global data system will help collaborators leverage the tremendous power of the international fabric of Research and Education (R&E) networks, encircling the globe and enabling unprecented potential for collaboration.
22. Dlt (Cont.) The DLT is comprised of various software systems: IBP: The Internet Backplane Protocol allows for the creation of storage “depots” throughout the network. This software, along with file managers like L-Store and LoDN, powers the NSF-funded Research and Education Data Depot Network (REDDnet). REDDnet is a funded set of storage infrastructure in the US (and at CERN in support of the LHC). The goal of the DLT is to broaden the participation in this infrastructure as well as to make logistical storage available internationally. perfSONAR: perfSONAR is a network measurement and topology system that can monitor and optimize the DLT network. The perfSONAR system has been jointly developed by an international consortium of R&E networks and researchers and is the center of a growing community interested in making networks more effective. Phoebus: Phoebus is a session-layer based network “inlay” that optimizes end-to-end throughput for high-demand applications and users. Phoebus can dynamically allocate circuits from systems such as Internet2’s ION and GÉANT’s AutoBAHN. UNIS: The Unified Network Information Service stems from the perfSONAR Lookup and Topology Services and is now used by the OSCARS interdomain controller (IDC) software, which underlies Internet2’s ION and the ESnet OSCARS service for dynamic circuits. It is a key part of the DLT’s discovery and coordination service.
23. Dlt (Cont.) The DLT will be implemented on TransPAC3. Disk arrays will be installed at the current circuit landing points in Los Angeles and Tokyo. This along with dynamic circuit technologies will provide a foundation for collaborative activities between researchers in the US and the AP Region. Similar plans are being worked on between the US and Europe and will be implemented when the ACE circuits are in place.
