      Validating the output of the perfSONAR measurement will increase confidence in the accuracy of the perfSONAR testing. This will also mean the perfSONAR is more reliable if identified errors can be found through this comparison with other testing tools. 

      If the perfSONAR testing has the same bandwidth and latency of the other testing tools used, this will mean perfSONAR can be relied upon to determine the weaknesses in the network without also having to rely on other tools for future issues. 

       

      This will also show that perfSONAR can be used to diagnose purely network based errors in future data movement through eliminating any remaining issues with perfSONAR configuration, either with the mesh configuration, or individual perfSONAR node setup.

      AC1: Identify appropriate testing nodes (somewhere between 2 to 3 sites to begin testing) and run tests between them using other custom tools, and the perfSONAR scheduled testing. 

       

      AC2: Compare these results, find differences between the testing method outputs, and identify reasons for these differences.

    Description

      Work has been done previously to evaluate long haul data movement through the network. This has been assessed with manually run scripts to determine the capability of the network to send data within and without the SRCnet. 

      To assess both the manual set of tests and the perfSONAR mesh, these two methods of testing the network should be compared and assessed. Ideally these two methods should give similar results. 

       

      In order to perform this work, a select few SRCnet0.1 sites will be selected (at least two, up to three or four) to have tests run between them. These tests will use perfSONAR and the manual script testing. The outputs of these can then be compared to show precise networking information. This can then be used to discover any issues with the perfSONAR mesh. 

       

      Use results in perfSONAR to drive further tuning of tests & global network performance.
