Workshop Objective: Focused on perfSONAR measurement meshes, students will learn how to set up a new mesh and what it means to have a measuring point participate in a mesh. Will connect NREN and campus network administrators to the WACREN regional perfSONAR deployment.
Targeted Audience: Engineers from NRENs who have subscribed to AC2 and will have connectivity from WACREN are the priority. Other participants may have been in the 1st WACREN workshop in 2015 or are experienced network engineers who have successfully deployed perfSONAR in their home organisations. All participants will require exposure to network monitoring, network performance measurements and perfSONAR.
Expected Outcomes: Measurements will be taken by participants from NRENs connected to the WACREN network as well as those from countries connected via other international transit. These participants would then be able to quantify the network reliability and performance improvements with the WACREN network compared to commodity Internet services.
Language: Conducted in English with bilingual trainers
