End to End Performance Initiative

1. End to End Performance Initiative p

2. Internet2 Mission • Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet.

3. Internet2 Accomplishments • A high performance backbone for our members linked to similar networks worldwide • Member development and deployment of applications requiring high performance network

4. What we have learned • High performance infrastructure is a necessary but not sufficient ingredient of high performance network capability

5. Our Goal • Ensure that the infrastructure is delivering to its full potential • Enable the researchers, faculty, students and staff who use high performance networks to obtain optimal performance from the current infrastructure on a consistent basis

6. No other complaints Everything is AOK Talk to the other guys System Administrator LAN Administrator LAN Administrator System Administrator Campus Networking Campus Networking Backbone Gigapop Gigapop The Problem Hey, this is not working right! Others are getting in ok Not our problem Applications Developer Applications Developer The computer Is working OK Looks fine All the lights are green How do you solve a problem along a path? We don’t see anything wrong The network is lightly loaded

7. How can I check a path? Who do I talk to? System Administrator LAN Administrator LAN Administrator System Administrator Campus Networking Campus Networking Backbone Gigapop Gigapop E2Epi Involves All Internet2 I need to know what the network can deliver What resources does this app need? Is there a problem? Applications Developer Applications Developer What is the health of the network? I have an authentication problem Is it hardware? All the lights are green How do I solve this problem? Different segments have different needs We can’t help everyone!

8. Four Areas in the Initiative Applications • Test Applications Community • Test Applications Host/Operating Systems • Host Tuning Network • Measurement Operations • E2Epie • Performance Evaluation and Review Framework (PERF)
