Abstract
The
vision of science grids allocating resources to analyze huge quantities of
HENP data clearly depends on reliable network performance. Tools developed at
SLAC in conjunction with the Internet2 PIPES project will help to ensure this.
In this talk, these tools will be discussed and the procedure for publishing
performance data, in particular using the Globus toolkit's MDS and web
services will be reviewed. The subsequent analysis and trouble-shooting
methodology will be discussed with real world examples from the particle
physics data grid (PPDG) and the European data grid (EDG).
