Motivation for MAGGIE

• The Development and Integration of network
  performance monitoring tools into a scalable
  infrastructure providing reliable statistics,
  analysis and access to data.

4
Motivation

• The increasing amount of computing and networking
  power has created a need for better and more
  integrated Network Performance Measurement and
  Monitoring.
• What is needed is to develop a ubiquitous
  monitoring infrastructure that would
• Develop means to collect statistics reliably and
  analyze them
• Provide the measurements seen in multiple
  monitoring projects
• Allow us to co-ordinate and integrate tools in a
  co-operative framework.

IEPM PingER

• IEPM
• Monitoring network connectivity and End-to-end
  performance for sites involved in High Energy
  Nuclear and Particle Physics
• PingER Ping end-to-End Reporting
• Used to monitor end-to-end performance of
  Internet links

Nearest Abroad Neighbor NAN

• An analysis which is of special interest to the
  part of the world which does not have a dense
  communication infrastructure (South America,
  Africa, Asia).
• NAN tell us the shortest path (in terms of
  smallest RTT) to another PingER site abroad from
  selected location

Nearest Joint Point
NJP

• Related Projects Nearest Abroad Neighbor
• Suggest to change routing policies for improved
  faster routing
• Purpose to reduce the path after NJP

TULIP IP Geo Location

• Geolocation of an IP address
• Uses the principle of Trilateration
• Takes RTT measurements from various landmarks
  around the globe.

Implementations

• Fully functional prototype available at
• http//www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/net/wan-mon/tuli
  p
• Nearly all development challenges have been met
  90 of the issues are resolved
• A stripped down version of the API is available
• Small issues keep up coming. Many parsers for
  results analysis extraction have to be written
• The code is well documented
