IRNC: AMI: NetSage - An Open, Privacy-Aware, Network Measurement, Analysis, and Visualization Service

NetSage是一个开放的隐私感知网络测量，分析和可视化服务，旨在满足当今国际网络的需求。现代科学在本质上越来越多地由数据驱动和协作，产生了PB级的数据，可以由世界各地成千上万的科学家共享。NSF支持的国际研究网络连接（IRNC）链接对于执行这些科学实验至关重要。提供国际数据传输的近实时监测和可视化将有助于确保科学工作流程以最高效率运行。NetSage服务提供了前所未有的被动测量组合，包括SNMP数据、流数据和基于Bro的流量分析，以及主动测量，主要是perfSONAR和纵向网络性能数据可视化。鉴于数据流经交换点，用户隐私是该项目中的一个重要问题。NetSage通过使用隐私咨询委员会来解决这些问题，该委员会将确保数据收集活动的进行符合所有社区标准。拟议的工作是印第安纳州大学、加州大学戴维斯分校和夏威夷大学马诺阿分校之间的合作。这个独特而强大的团队结合了生产国际网络支持，网络测量和预测工具，网络密集型应用程序和数据可视化的背景。

NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to address the needs of today's international networks. Modern science is increasingly data-driven and collaborative in nature, producing petabytes of data that can be shared by tens to thousands of scientists all over the world. The NSF-supported International Research Network Connection (IRNC) links have been essential to performing these science experiments. Providing near real-time monitoring and visualization of international data transfers will help ensure that scientific workflows are operating at maximum efficiency. NetSage services provide an unprecedented combination of passive measurements, including SNMP data, flow data, and Bro-based traffic analysis, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, and longitudinal network performance data visualization. User privacy is a significant concern in this project given the data flowing through the exchange points. NetSage addresses these concerns through the use of a privacy advisory board that will ensure the data gathering activities are conducted to meet all community standards. The proposed work is a partnership between Indiana University, University of California at Davis, and University of Hawaii at Manoa. This uniquely strong team combines backgrounds in production international network support, networking measurement and prediction tools, network-intensive applications and data visualization.
