1. Improving pS-PS Service Architecture 2010-01-31, perfSONAR-PS Developers Meeting Aaron Brown, Andrew Lake, Eric Pouyoul

2. Problems – It’s difficult to add new metrics, or build new services using the existing architecture. – There is duplication of effort between service implementations which can lead to inconsistency between services. Goal – Improve Code Reuse – Increase modularity – Cordon off outside dependencies – Ease development of new services, or new metrics for existing services – Improve performance, or minimize the performance impact 2 – 10/22/2015, © 2009 Internet2 pS-PS Service Architecture

3. Short Term Tasks – Develop a list of services to support, and document the commonalities between them – Look to existing projects (e.g. OSCARS) for ideas on how to better modularize the codebase – Begin design of new service architecture 3 – 10/22/2015, © 2009 Internet2 pS-PS Service Architecture

4. Measurement Archives – Registers metadata with a lookup service – Accepts requests Retrieve metadata Retrieve data Store metadata Store data – Allows for authentication/authorization Measurement Points – Registers its presence with a lookup service, and possibly where it can test to – Accepts requests Request measurement Initiate measurement Retrieve results of measurement – Allows for authentication/authorization 4 – 10/22/2015, © 2009 Internet2 Types Of Services

5. Global Lookup Service – Exchanges summaries with other gLSes – Accepts requests Retrieve lookup service containing information on IP, domain, keyword. Retrieve a summary of all lookup services known to the gLS – Allows for authentication/authorization(?) Home Lookup Service – Registers its presence with gLSes – Accepts requests Request a service containing some metadata Request metadata from a given service Store a service’s metadata – Allows for authentication/authorization Transformation Service Others? 5 – 10/22/2015, © 2009 Internet2 Types Of Services

6. New Measurement Metrics – Highly likely New Measurement Points – If we have AA, highly likely New Transformation Services – Unknown Lookup Service? – It is unlikely that we would have a variety of lookup services in the same way we support a variety of metrics or a variety of measurement points 6 – 10/22/2015, © 2009 Internet2 Likely New Functionality

7. Authentication/Authorization Lookup service registration (and maintenance) Schema parsing Message handling Response construction Others? 7 – 10/22/2015, © 2009 Internet2 Common Components

9. Expect research projects may replace some modules – PCE – Path Setup Libraries provided by OSCARS – Currently only have Java – CXF based classes for message parsing – Threading of asynchronous requests – Business logic up to developer Still a work in progress 9 – 10/22/2015, © 2009 Internet2 Developing New OSCARS Services

11. Integration of Authentication/Authorization Backward compatibility Self-update functionality 11 – 10/22/2015, © 2009 Internet2 Other Open Design Questions
