Transatlantic Performance Monitoring Workshop
CERN 17 March 2004
EGEE and Network Performance Monitoring
EGEE is proposed as a project funded by
the European Union under contract IST-2003-508833

Outline

• EGEE brief description
• Network Resource Provision (SA2)
• Network Services Development (JRA4)
• JRA4 Network Performance Monitoring

3
EGEE Activity Areas

• Services
• Deliver production level grid services
  (manageable, robust, resilient to failure)
• Middleware
• Grid middleware re-engineering activity in
  support of the production services
• Networking
• Proactively market Grid services to new research
  communities in academia and industry
• Provide necessary education

Network Resource Provision (SA2) Tasks

• Tasks
• Definition of requirements
• Specification of services
• Definition of network access policies
• Monitoring of service level provision
• and, modelling interaction between
• NOC and GOC
• Outside of Scope
• Provide connectivity or increase of bandwidth
  capacity to sites

Network Service Development (JRA4) Tasks and
Context

• Main tasks
• Bandwidth Allocation and Reservation
• Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostic
  tools
• and, also IPv6 uptake

• DANTE already deploying basic infrastructure in
  GEANT (current GN1 and the coming GN2 projects)
• Introduction of Layer 3 differentiated services
  (Premium, BE, LBE)
• Instrumentation for network measurement

• JRA4 Partners
• UCL
• CNRS / UREC
• DANTE
• DFN
• GARR

JRA4 Network Performance Monitoring

• Grid Performance closely linked to Network
  Performance
• Network Performance?, what for?
• Problem diagnostic and rectification
• Facilitate resources allocation
• Performance monitoring and SLA adherence

Net. Perf. Monitoring Use case example
ie. OWD from point A to B ?
We got that already
We DONT yet
NREN A
NREN B
GEANT
OWDOWD1OWD2OWD3

• PMSx and DMx
• Are independent implementation for the
  measurements
• Features
• Multiple domains, AAA, OGSA/OGSI

EGEE Focus on the Interfaces
NREN A
NREN B
GEANT

• Consumer - DM
• Consumers such as end-user, operations,
  middleware

• DM - DM
• Supporting the multi domain signalling and other
  services like topology discovery

• DM - PSM
• Control of the end monitoring resources

11
Some EGEE Requirements

• Continuous monitoring of the service-level
  provision (ie, bandwidth available) in the Grid
• Continuous monitoring of the SLAs adherence
  specified by the partners
• Performance evaluation and validation of new
  sites joining the Grid
• Able to Authorise and Authenticate users of the
  service
• Need of user Accounting to monitor the usage of
  network resources vs SLA
• Able to handle requests from VO, not just a
  single user
• Interface to middleware
• Monitoring of different priority levels or class
  of services
• Able to customise the service presentation to
  different users role such as operations, end
  users, etc..
• Able to generate a diagnostic response (and
  rectification suggestion) when a problem occurs
• Follow OGSA/OGSI (or WS-RF) standards for the
  interfaces
• Aggregation modelling tool
