The GN2-JRA1 project

Nowadays, each network operator configures its own set of network monitoring applications. There is no structure for data exchange between networks, making it difficult to solve performance problems occuring between 2 hosts, interconnected through several networks.

GN2-JRA1 is a research project funded by the European Commission that aims at finding a solution to monitor network performance in a multi-domain infrastructure. The need to offer customers with an end-to-end view of network performance delivered is all the more important that there are more and more projects making an extensive usage of the network. The network cannot remain a black box to them anymore.

GN2-JRA1 and perfSONAR

In order to achieve this goal over a wider environment, a collaboration called perfSONAR has been setup with other important network entities of the research and education community (Internet2, ESnet...) A joint framework has been proposed and common development is taking place. The framework is composed of a set of services acting as an intermediate layer, between the performance measurement tools and the visualization applications. This layer is aimed at exchanging performance measurements between networks, using well defined protocols.
