Monthly Project Report January 2007

From GEANT2-JRA1 Wiki

The work was mostly turned on installation scripts and testing (SA3 WI-15) and on bug fixing and documenting (JRA1) for the next perfSONAR release.

Visualisation tools

A new perfsonarUI release (v0.09) is now available. It provides an improved user visualisation, the capability of launching a traceroute locally or uploading a traceroute from a file and run parallel requests when more than one MA is involved in the user query.

Services

An additional Measurement Archives instance has been deployed by RedCLARA (Latin American network) to provide link capacity and utilisation. A total of sixteen Measurement Archives have been deployed, amongst them, ten by European NRENs.

The topology service (TopS) has been made available for installation. The TopS provides topological information that will be primarily retrieved by map-based tool for automatic display of network topology (e.g. for the creation of weathermap).

To allow people to try out TCMP, which can provide access to sensitive information, credentials supporting role based authorization retrieval for filtering, sampling and anonymisation have been implemented.

Collaborations

A perfSONAR and a JRA1 internal meetings were held in Cambridge with Internet2 during the GÉANT2 workshop week. During that week, meetings with JRA5 to progress on the AA and with SA3 to progress on cNIS where done.
