Hades measurements

Hades measurements shows one-way historical information between sets of measurement points deployed in the European R&D networks.

  • Metric: One-way delay, one-way packet loss, traceroute
  • Measured for: measured continuously between over 40 measurement points distributed over the EU R&D community.
  • Time: five probes sent every 30 secs to all destinations

perfsonarUI

perfsonarUI is a GUI allowing monitoring data retrieval from / on demand tests across multiple networks having deployed perfSONAR web-services.

  • Metrics: Provide access to link utilisation, link capacity, one-way delay data, one-way packet loss and on-demand TCP/UDP throughput.
  • Measured for: Link utilisation is monitored by SNMP for selected links within GEANT2 and NRENs links. One-way delay and packet loss rate measured continuously between over 40 measurement points distributed over the EU R&D community. On-demand TCP/UDP throughput tests between 12 MPs located in the EU R&D community.
  • Time: link utilization (continuous measurement) is available for several fixed time periods before the current time, the shortest period is the last 90 minutes providing average values for 60-second intervals. One-way measurements - five probes sent every 30 secs.
  • More information: about perfsonarUI perfsonarUI - perfsonarUI Self Paced training.

perfSONAR status

perfSONAR status is a GUI showing the reachability of the perfSONAR web-services deployed. By clicking on the buttons, you can access the historical availability information (using smokeping).

  • Metric: RTT and packet loss for each of the following: ICMP ping, http get, perfsonar ping
  • Measured for: the perfSONAR web-services deployed by the EU R&D community.
  • Time: every five minutes, ten probes of the three different types are sent to each target.
  • More information: about the status monitoring tool: http://perfsonar.acad.bg/smokeping


GEANT TCP throughput

GEANT TCP throughput and the MDM TCP Throughput shows historical information about TCP throughput measured between 15 measurement points deployed across EU R&D networks (Respectively GEANT2 and the MDM NRENs)

  • Metric: TCP throughput
  • Measured for: 30 measurement points deployed across EU R&D networks
  • Time: varies. Test scheduled every few hours.


CNM

CNM is a map based tool allowing the visualisation of multiple metric accross multiple domains. Password requied.

  • Metrics: Provide access to link utilisation, link capacity, one-way delay data.
  • Measured for: Link utilisation is monitored by SNMP for selected links within GEANT2 and NRENs links. One-way delay and packet loss rate measured continuously between over 40 measurement points distributed over the EU R&D community.
  • Time: link utilization (continuous measurement) is available for several fixed time periods before the current time, the shortest period is the last 90 minutes providing average values for 60-second intervals. One-way measurements - five probes sent every 30 secs.
  • More information: about CNM


ABW

ABW permits the visualisation of used bandwidth on small time scales (1sec) using packet capture cards.

  • Access: requires username and password, see [1]
  • Metric: used bandwidth and its distribution into protocols in different layers
  • Measured for: links between GEANT2 and NRENs where passive monitoring stations are installed
  • Time: continuous monitoring, average values for arbitrary intervals from 1 second up are available
  • More information: about ABW

TCMP-UI - trial version

TCMP-UI - trial version is web application, which may be used to instruct TCMP to start capture network packets and retrieve resulted PCAP files for local processing.

  • Measured for: One link in Arnes, no authentication required (capture limited for the packets to and from a test machine for privacy purpose)
  • Time: on demand
  • More information: TCMP-UI user manual
  • Status: Currently unavailable.
