Targeted Assistance and Instrumentation for Internet2 Applications

研究人员正致力于开发通用工具，以诊断高速研究网络上高级网络应用程序的端到端性能问题。该工具的开发将以解决两个代表性应用程序的需求为基础，一个具有批量吞吐量需求，另一个具有交互性需求。研究人员利用现有的Surveyor基础设施，并将与其他nsf资助的项目（包括应用和测量）合作，与Internet2端到端性能倡议密切协调，以确保在这项资助到期后，研究结果继续用于解决高等教育面临的问题。

The researchers are working to develop general tools to diagnose end-to-endperformance problems of advanced network applications onhigh-speed research networks. This tool development will be groundedin addressing the needs of two representative applications,one with bulk throughput requirements and one with interactiverequirements. The researchers capitalize on the existing Surveyor infrastructure andwill work with other NSF-funded projects (both applications andmeasurement), coordinating closely with the Internet2 End-to-EndPerformance Initiative to ensure the results continue to beused past the expiration of this grant for problems facinghigher-education.
