Overview
This workshop provides Information Technology (IT) professionals with an introduction to tools and techniques for the monitoring of high-throughput networks and science demilitarized zones (Science DMZs). Each attendee will have full control of equipment pods emulating internetworks and tools to learn and test perfSONAR nodes distributed across networks.
Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, attendees will:
perfSONAR:
- Describe the operation of perfSONAR and use perfSONAR GUI to configure regular tests
- Analyze perfSONAR results on a variety of scenarios with injected packet loss and latency
- Use pScheduler’s CLI to schedule tests
- Visualize measurement data using MaDDash
- Understand and use the psConfig Web Administrator (PWA) to host groups and tests
Intended Audience
The audience of this workshop includes IT educators and professionals.
