International AMP Collaborations Overview

Active Measurement Project (AMP)

•Led by Tony McGregor

•AMP performs site-to-site active measurements (RTT, topology, loss, and on-demand throughput)and analysis which givenetwork researchers and engineers a full mesh ofreal-time and historicalperformance data between well understood end hosts.

International Collaborations

• The NLANR/MNA group now has AMP monitors in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.

• The majority of the PRAGMA test-bed countries now also have AMP monitors deployed. We are working to place AMPs at the remaining test-bed sites -- India and Malaysia.

International Collaborations (Cont’d-2) Groups from the following countries

- have experimented with and/or deployed their own local AMP mesh:

Australia, Brazil, Korea, Taiwan, and New Zealand.

- expressed interest in developing a local AMP mesh:

Thailand, China, Chile and Mexico.

International Collaborations (Cont’d-2)

• As a trusted, neutral, third party, NLANR/MNA has facilitated cooperation across many different organizational and national boundaries.

• The result is that NLANR/MNA is well on the way to establishing a world-wide measurement infrastructure for gathering performance data from high-speed next-generation research networks around the globe and, as is our norm, making this information publicly available to systems administrators, engineers, and the research community.
