In the EGEE3 project an appropriate solution for addressing performance issues in project partner (approx. 280 institutions) communications has been investigated. Due to the effort required the aim was to provide a flexible troubleshooting method rather than a permanent monitoring solution. As a subcontractor of DFN, the University of Erlangen has developed software (“perfSONAR-Lite Troubleshooting Service”) for investigating throughput (tool BWCTL), packet run times (ping), paths in the network (traceroute), as well as port scans and DNS configurations. This is an easy-to-install variant of the perfSONAR monitoring software which has been developed in the GN2/GN3 project.
