6. pSPT pSPT can skip the configuration.
You can set up the network monitoring facility at once.
perfSONAR + Measurement Tools + web server

7. pSPT
2 style distributions are available.
NetInstall
Live CD

9. For this class,
Confirm which partition is free.
At your place,
Prepare the free partition first with the format “ext3”.
More than 10GB partition is preferable but less than 10GB one is acceptable.
Ubuntu Linux can make the partion with “gparted”.

address]/toolkit
In this class, IP addresses are mapped with the machine names.

22. 5

23. Setup the NTP configuration.
In this class, this configuration is skipped.
The time synchronization is used at “Scheduled Tests” and “OWAMP”.
This setup must not be skipped.

24. Congratulation! You can play some.

25. Try the reverse “traceroute”.
Try the reverse “ping”.

26. One more Step

27. Configure the scheduled (automatic) monitoring process
Throughput test with using BWCTL (iperf)
Oneway Delay (OWAMP)
Bulk Ping (pingER)

28. For your information BWCTL：nms1.jp.apan.net OWAMP : nms4.jp.apan.net
PingER : nms4.jp.apan.net

29. Gift here!
