Motivation • Interested in connectivity and performance to HENP Collaborators • Inter-regional connectivity • ICTP • Performance to eJDS subscribers
What is the eJDS ? • The Electronic Journal Distribution Service • Participating Members • Egypt, Bangladesh, Brazil, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Iran, Jordon, Mexico, Pakistan
Recommendations of Trieste • To devote resources to monitor in real time the connectivity of research and educational institutions in developing countries and to encourage (and devote resources to) the development of the connectivity.
The View from SLAC • PingER • Performance monitoring • Resource allocation • Troubleshooting • The benefit of a connection
Further Work • Monitoring from ICTP • More targets • Other communities • Monitor transitions • Further Analysis • Possible workshop in Trieste in November
This is a BOF • Monitoring is essential to engineering • If you don’t measure, you don’t know (I.e. what I can do for you) • If you are measuring, share (I.e. what can you do for me) • Interested ? • Indianapolis ?
