Packet marking
- Scitags RCS-IT: project proposal to deploy Scitags in production in collaboration with WLCG and CERN storage team was discussed last week
- Firefly (R&E) dashboards
- Now that DC24 is over we can check deployment at Jisc
- Updated ESnet dashboard:
- Has exp/act shown correctly
- New filter for site selection
- Flow duration graphs
- TODO: Transfer rates (bytes/duration)
- Collectors
- DC24: Scalability testing of the ESnet collector
- Andy proposed an updated architecture for sofware collectors
- We would rely on Kafka bus to exchange traffic between collectors (instead of UDP, see screenshot attached)
- New (site)collector developed and deployed at CERN during DC24
- Uses UDP input plugin instead of beats+syslog, more efficient (no file reads)
- Uses UDP output plugin to forward (can be used by Jisc to forward to ESnet)
