Succesfull SC23 demo

- Packet marking @300Gbps (see screenshots attached) 
- Tested integration with ESnet high-touch service, dataset to be published later this week  
- InMon: SFlow-RT readout of the packet marking from network equipment worked fine (screenshot attached)

- New fireflies dashboard showing data from a production storage (at UNL): 
.   - https://public.stardust.es.net/d/b8dddac0-5b24-4739-9c8d-e88a05c1344f/scientific-network-tags3a-rande-dashboard?orgId=1&from=now-12h&to=now 
   - There is additional data available that is not yet shown both from fireflies as well as from Esnet, e.g. duration of the flows, transfer rates, etc.

Developments

- flowd - developed support for packet marking on multiple NICs (tested succesfully @ SC23) 
   - plan to create separate packages for flow labeling and packet marking (flowd and flowd-ebpf) - different deps + EPEL requirements 
   - following SC23 tests we will also refactor the way fireflies are processed and how additional data is added 
- xrootd http-tpc support was released 
- FTS, Rucio and gfal2  - waiting for deployment

dCache fireflies

• dCache AGLT2 tests with fireflies - discovered problems also in latest 9.2.5
• we hope that this could be fixed in next release (december?)
• enabling fireflies is simple - just flip one boolean value

XRootD & support for flowd activity

• available since XRootD 5.6.3 
  • already available in EPEL 
  • work in progress with OSG packages 
• this functionality is already included in EOS that is now being deployed at CERN 
• Rucio needs to be updated to pass activity for SciTags to FTS-1829
  • actually seems to be already implemented
