Performance Measurement and Monitoring Deliverables

The links below provide access to the outputs (or formal notification of their completion) of the Performance Measurement and Monitoring Joint Research Activity. These have been presented to the European Commission as "deliverables", to provide evidence of the project's progress.

For a full list of all Deliverables published by the project, please visit the Deliverables section of the Document Library in this site's Media Centre.

31 March 2008[pdf] GN2-08-057v2: DJ1.3.4 - JRA1 Phase IV Implementation Report (1912 Kb)
The GN2 JRA1 activity has delivered a fourth set of services, and enhancements were conducted on the services developed previously. This delivery introduces authentication functionality to the perfSONAR framework. Particular attention has been paid, in partnership with the SA3 WI-15 Release Management Team, to ease of installation and of configuration. A subset of the release software forms the core of the Multi-Domain Monitoring perfSONAR software release that will be used for the Multi-Domain service Monitoring Prototype.
22 January 2008[pdf] JRA1 Phase III Implementation Report (DJ1.3.3) (213 Kb)
perfSONAR MDM release 3.0 - Product Brief
11 June 2007[pdf] JRA1 Phase III Implementation Report (DJ1.3.3) (3225 Kb)
The GN2 JRA1 activity has delivered a third set of services and enhancements were conducted on the services developed previously. A Topology Service was developed to get overall information of network topologies, and new Measurement Points and Archives for different types of metrics were introduced. Functional Testing was established to ensure the production of high quality code for perfSONAR releases, controlled by the Release Management Team.
12 February 2007[pdf] Plan for Transition of JRA1 into Production Service (DJ1.0.1) (339 Kb)
This Deliverable describes the Multi-Domain Monitoring service being developed under JRA1. It considers the steps necessary to migrate this activity to an operational service and sets out initial ideas about the transition process necessary to implement such a service the organisational structures to provide user and supplier support are described as well as the intermediate steps that are possible in the implementation of a fully operational service
31 January 2007[pdf] PerfSONAR AA Service Specification (DJ1.2.4) (344 Kb)
This document is the result of an intense interaction between JRA1 and JRA5 and is meant to guide perfSONAR designers and developers through the task of exploiting the eduGAIN AA Infrastructure and code to add AA functionalities in perfSONAR. Hopefully, it will also serve as a reference for other GN2 activities having the same need of exploiting the eduGAIN framework and implementation
18 September 2006[pdf] JRA1 Phase II Implementation Report - Second set of services and GUIs (DJ1.3.2) (1858 Kb)
The GN2 JRA1 activity has delivered a second set of services and enhancements were conducted on the services developed previously. Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) have been produced, or modified, to make use of the functionality offered by those services and thus operate over multiple boundaries. This document presents the status of the services and GUI delivered so far as well as a summary of the first release management process set up to provide the first service release. This document presents as well the directions for future development for those services.
24 May 2006[pdf] Phase 1 - Implementation Report (DJ1.3.1) (658 Kb)
The GN2 JRA1 activity has delivered its first set of services. Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) have been produced, or modified, to make use of the functionality offered by those services and, thus, operate over multiple boundaries. This document presents the status of the services and GUI delivered so far as well as the release management and testing process that will be applied to the services. It also aims at providing the directions for future development for those services.
14 February 2006[pdf] Network Metric Report (DJ1.2.3) (657 Kb)
This report identifies the network performance metrics of potential interest for the users of the perfSONAR monitoring framework (developed by Joint Research Activity 1 of the GÉANT2 project), and describes methods for composing them. In the first part, the document provides a categorized list of these metrics and presents the methodologies that have to be followed in order to measure them with the necessary accuracy. In the remaining of the document composition of metrics is described, using three different composition methods: aggregation in time, aggregation in space and concatenation in space
8 December 2005[pdf] Detailed Design of GÉANT2 JRA1 Base Services and Application Programming Interface (API) (DJ1.2.2) (1200 Kb)
The GN2-JRA1 activity is aiming at defining and building a multi-domain framework to exchange monitoring information between multiple domains. The General Framework Design has already provided the main direction of scuh an infrastructure. This document presents the design refinement of base services instances defined in the GFD, including the APIs of the service described.
