SGER: Exploratory Research on Network Measurement for International Connections

该SGER提案调查了网络测量和性能研究与开发在国际网络连接方面的应用。这项应用研究的目标环境是作为NSF国际研究网络连接计划（IRNC）的一部分建立的一套国际网络连接和路径。调查将探讨在未来的国际连接服务中引入服务层协议（sla）的可行性；研究开发中间件服务来处理跨度量域的公共数据访问的可能性；定义跨这些连接的统一仪器和测量能力的公共基线；通过提供网络测量和绩效方面的指导和最佳实践来改进其他奖励活动；并在独特的网络环境中实现网络测量的新实验。

This SGER proposal investigates the application of research and development in network measurement and performance toward international network connectivity. The target environment for this applied research is the set of international network connections and paths established as part of the NSF International Research Network Connections program (IRNC). The investigation will: explore the feasibility of introducing Service Layer Agreements (SLAs) into future international connection services; investigate the possibility of developing a middleware service to address common data access across measurement domains; define a common baseline of uniform instrumentation and measurement capabilities across these connections; improve other award activities by providing guides and best practices in network measurement and performance; and enable new experiments in network measurement across a unique network environment.
