1 1 ICFA/SCIC Network Monitoring Prepared by Les Cottrell, SLAC, for ICFA www.slac.stanford.edu/grp/scs/net/talk03/icfa-aug04.ppt

2 2 Coverage In last 9 months added: –Several sites in Russia (thanks GLORIAD) –Many hosts in Africa (5=>36 now in 27 out of 54 countries) –Monitoring sites in Pakistan and Brazil (Sao Paolo and Rio) Now monitoring 650 sites in 115 countries Working to install monitoring host in Bangalore, India Monitoring site Remote site

3 3 World View S.E. Europe, Russia: catching up Latin Am., Mid East, China: keeping up India, Africa: falling behind C. Asia, Russia, S.E. Europe, L. America, M. East, China: 4- 5 yrs behind India, Africa: 7 yrs behind Important for policy makers

4 4 View from CERN Confirms view from N. America From the PingER project August 2004.

5 5 From Developing Regions As expected Brazil to L. America is good Actually dominated by Brazil to Brazil To Chile & Uruguay poor since goes via US Brazil (Sao Paolo) Novosibirsk NSK to Moscow used to be OK but loss went up in Sep. 2003 GLORIAD may help Novosibirsk

6 6 Achieving throughput User can’t achieve throughput available (Wizard gap) Big step just to know what is achievable

7 7 Collaborations/funding Good news: –Active collaboration with NIIT Pakistan to develop network monitoring including PingER Travel funded by US State department for 1 year –FNAL & SLAC continue support for PingER management and coordination Bad news: –DoE funding for PingER terminated –Proposal to EC 6 th framework with ICTP, ICT Cambridge UK, CONAE Argentina, Usikov Inst Ukraine, STAC Vietnam VUB Belgium rejected –Proposal to IDRC/Canada February, no word Hard to get funding for operational needs –For quality data need constant vigilance (host disappear, security blocks pings, need to update remote host lists …)

8 8 New features in works (with NIIT) Improve new site set-up tools Improve management –Discover non working links faster Improve access to data and meta data –Provide data base with lat/long, country etc. –Add web services access Improve visualization: –Provide map with drill down to node information –Automate production of long term trend plots for regions –More node selection capabilities Traceroute measurement and analysis
