Astronomy Sysman Meeting 29/30 April 02 R. Hughes-Jones Manchester 19 Grid Network Monitoring Several tools in test – plugged into a coherent structure: PingER, RIPE one way times, iperf, UDPmon, rTPL, GridFTP, and NWS prediction engine continuous tests for last few months to selected sites: DL Man RL UCL CERN Lyon Bologna SARA NBI SLAC … The aims of monitoring for the Grid: to inform Grid applications, via the middleware, of the current status of the network – input for resource broker and scheduling to identify fault conditions in the operation of the Grid to understand the instantaneous, day-to-day, and month-by-month behaviour of the network – provide advice on configuration etc. Network information published in LDAP schema Will be used by UK GridPP and e-science centres AstroGrid ?

Hughes-Jones Manchester 31 QoS: Terms and Concepts Identifying frames – marking / setting IP precedence bits Sorting frames into queues Selecting which frame to send Action taken when a queue is full Sort Fail Discard Test Identify & Classify Police Dequeue Configurable Queues
32
Astronomy Sysman Meeting 29/30 April 02 R. Hughes-Jones Manchester 32 QoS: What Next? Dante propose the following services: IP Premium (EF) (AF) difficult to define in a way that suits most NRNs Best Efforts Scavenger “Less than best efforts” UKERNA ran a Think Tank to Study QoS requirements in the UK MB-NG Network development project to test MPLS and QoS SuperJANET is expected to offer similar services to Dante Applications need end to end QoS – so we need to cross: LAN SuperJANET4 Dante Remote NRN Remote LAN
