Alert Analysis of ABwE Raw capacity data

The data analyzed for alerts is the ABwE exponentially weighted moving average of available bandwidth estimate data for about 40 hosts in 12 countries in N. America (US and Canada), Europe (.ch, .cz, .de, .fr, .it, .nl, .uk) and Asia (.jp, .pk,. su) with bottleneck capacities from 512kbps to 1000Mbps. The data points are measured from SLAC at ~ 1 minute intervals. The Event analysis uses a modified "plateau" algorithm developed from Automated Event Detection for Active Measurement Systems McGregor A. J and Braun H-W. The history buffer duration we used in the plateau algorithm was 1800 points (the interval between points was 1 minute) or 10 hours, and the trigger buffer was points or 1 hour.

This page was created from the averaged-new ABwE data on Mon Jun 14 10:50:08 2004 for iepm on nettest1 by: version 1.3, 6/8/04 of runperiod.les using threshold=0.1, statistical_limit = 2 and writing data to /nfs/slac/g/net/iepm-bw/bandwidth-tests/eventanalysis/nersc-1. The data goes back 22 days to 3/2/2004 18:00 and includes 1 remote hosts.
