The Problem Even with high bandwidth network links, the Internet2 community often does not see expected performance. 4/8/2019

E2E Perf Initiative Vision To enable the end-user to obtain optimal performance from the available current and future infrastructure on a routine basis. 4/8/2019

Work to Date Initial planning in the late fall and winter Campus Workshop in San Diego Planning Meeting in Ann Arbor Recasting of work plan Formation of Design Team Design Team White Paper Spring Member Meeting 4/8/2019

Design Team The End-to-End Performance Initiative Design Team includes: George Brett, NCSA/NLANR DAST/Web 100 Claudia de Luna, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Doug Gale, OARnet Andy Germain, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Terry Gray, University of Washington and Pacific/Northwest GigaPoP Wendy Huntoon, PSC/NLANR NCNE 4/8/2019

Design Team The End-to-End Performance Initiative Design Team (con’t): Basil Irwin, Web100/ UCAR/NCAR Cheryl Munn-Fremon, University of Michigan Ronn Ritke, SDSC/NLANR MOAT Matthew Schmitz, Cisco Systems Internet2 Staff Participants: Guy Almes, Laurie Burns, Steve Corbató, Ted Hanss, Russ Hobby (chair), Kathleen Young, and Matt Zekauskas. 4/8/2019

The Initiative is A Coordinating Structure Will not replace current activities in the area Will encourage work where there are missing activities Coordinate activities to support E2E Performance Help to move developments into operation A Communications Facilitator Promote communications for common areas Tools for cross-area communications A Knowledge Repository Collect and disseminate knowledge gained Distribute tools developed 4/8/2019

Participants The Initiative is Structured Around Partnerships among Applications Communities Network Operators Gigapops Network Researchers Campuses Corporate partners Internet2 Staff 4/8/2019

Applications Communities They are the reason to have the network! The Initiative will: Work closely with selected test communities Focus on helping them do what they want to do Use their key applications to evaluate and improve network performance 4/8/2019

Campuses include the “Ends” in End-to-End Campus concerns include: Campus Users - overall performance and end result of the application. System Administrators - computer hardware and operating system. Network Operators - performance of the network. 4/8/2019

Focus Areas Applications End-to-End Host Computer and Operating Systems The Network Operational Support 4/8/2019

End-to-End Applications Establish Communities and Applications Test Case Disciplines to study and resolve their problems Identify Key Applications to Test Performance Develop Techniques and Tools for Applications Design - Resource Determination Implementation - Software Libraries Operation - lead to capabilities to isolate problems 4/8/2019

Host Computer and Operating System Techniques and Tools to Analyze The Various Computer Sub-systems and Software Different Hardware/Operating System Combinations and present options for to obtain optimal performance Optimal Computer Configurations Publicize Methodologies, Tools, and Results Case Studies, Best Common Practices Analysis Tools for Different Computers 4/8/2019

The Network Establish a Common Measurement Infrastructure Standard Instrumentation Locations along the Path Common Data Sets Collected Applications Reference Servers Download of Special Testing Software Develop Analysis Tools Study Network Behavior Pinpoint Source of Problems Determine the Health of the Network 4/8/2019

Operational Support Develop a Coordination and Communication Structure for Support Personnel Groups Computer System Administrators, LAN Managers, Campus NOCs Access to Experts Cross-Campus Support Establish the Performance Evaluation and Review Framework (PERF) A Coordination Structure to Study and Resolve Hard Problems Help populate the Knowledgebase for Known Solutions 4/8/2019

Operational Support Other Operational Developments Knowledgebase creation and use Cross-Domain Trouble Ticket System for use by NOCs (initially) and End-Users (later) Standard Sets of Operational Data that everyone can use to determine network capabilities and limitations. 4/8/2019

Initiative Management and Support Initiative Structure Series of Calls for Participation (CFPs) Participation by Internet2 Community Partners Initiative Management Structure An Initiative Advisory Committee Internet2 Provides Initiative Management Communications Tools Information Resources and Tools Evaluation and Assessment 4/8/2019

Show Me the Money UCAID has committed ~$1.5 million in project funding to provide central coordination and support Initiative coordination activities include proactively identifying potential funding sources and developing funding opportunities Potential funding agencies have participated in the planning stages and discussions will continue 4/8/2019

Next Steps Follow up discussion at 10:30am in Maryland A White paper still open for comments Design Team work continues Produce an action plan and post Develop the Calls for Participation Specify review process Issue first set of CFPs, and begin work in specific areas Hire permanent director Form an advisory structure 4/8/2019
