Call for Participation First Workshop on the perfSONAR Network Measurement Infrastructure July 8 and 9, 2010 in Arlington VA Sponsored by the Large Scale Networking Coordinating Group, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy. http://www.internet2.edu/workshops/perfSONAR/ perfSONAR is an extensible, standards-based network performance monitoring middleware infrastructure, developed by an international collaboration. It not only facilitates the ability to solve end-to-end performance problems on paths crossing several networks but also enables network-aware applications. This infrastructure supports performance data collection and exchange between multiple networks using well-known protocols and formats. More than 68 entities around the world, ranging from backbone networks to universities to government laboratories have deployed perfSONAR. perfSONAR makes it relatively easy to take an experimental measurement tool, incorporate it into perfSONAR, and publish and archive the results of the tool. The goal of the workshop is use perfSONAR as a focus to cross-fertilize ideas from the network research community and the needs of the research and education networks around the world, covering several topics. The workshop will bring together researchers, applications developers, network operators, and others with an interest in network research and network performance monitoring and measurement. Researchers will benefit by presenting relevant research projects, hearing operational and engineering needs, and learning about the protocols and system as a distribution channel for research results. Operators and engineers will benefit through exposure to research results and by articulating engineering challenges and research needs, and learning how perfSONAR might meet some of thier needs. For more information on perfSONAR, see <http://psps.perfsonar.net/> (home of the Perl-based effort in the U.S., including links to use cases) and <http://www.perfsonar.net/> (home of the international project). A tutorial given at the most recent Asia-Pacific Advanced Networking meeting is available off the materials page of the workshop web site, <http://www.internet2.edu/workshops/perfSONAR/>. The data currently available through perfSONAR tends to be that useful for end-to-end performance debugging: Link utilization and errors, Traceroute beacons & looking glasses, Active measurements and active measurement results (Latency (one-way and round-trip), Loss, Throughput), and servers to test hosts and last-mile links (NDT and NPAD). In addition, Internet2 makes available anonymized Netflow data, BGP and IGP data, syslog data from our routers, and an interactive router query. Potential focus areas include: Research use of perfSONAR (use it for research, publish research results, perfSONAR tools and services (publishing new information such as middleware or application logs, missing pieces, tool limitations or expansion, implications of increasing link speeds (100G) or hybrid networks), and Operational issues (increasing routine testing, including internationally; deployment challenges; use in performance debugging; data sharing issues). The workshop is open to all, but is limited to no more than 80 people, to be selected by an executive committee. If you are interested in attending, you are encouraged to read the full Call for Participation <http://www.internet2.edu/workshops/perfSONAR/cfp.html> and supporting material, and we would like you to send a few sentences or a paragraph describing your interest (in plain text or PDF) to perfsonar-workshop@internet2.edu by April 30, 2010. Please also indicate if any of the focus areas are particularly interesting; we will use the results to craft breakout sessions during the workshop.
