- The Working group is now focusing on packet pacing (next meeting in Sept.)
- Dale, Tim, Shawn and Marian have written a RFC draft that will be presented to the upcoming IETF (next week). Opposition is expected by the IETF, but there is always the possibility to publish it as a documentation of the use of the flowlabel field.
- Draft: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-cc-v6ops-wlcg-flow-label-marking-02.html
- WG is also working with the dCache and XRoot developers to follow up on the flow marking (fireflies) implementation
Meeting notes
- dCache with fireflies configured at AGLT2
- fireflies may become available in dCache in next release or two
- significant number of sites may sent fireflies during DC24
- most probably just a simple configuration option on/off
- fireflies sent along the path with data but in addition they can be sent to central collector(s)
- packet marking is more tricky with dCache (no direct access to sockets in Java)
- needs flowd service
- eBPF flow level rewriting - last SC22 showed 200Gb is reachable
- expected to have 10% sites configured also with packet marking
