Today is a regular facility meeting (we had no Topical Presentation lined up).   Please let us know if you have a topic you would like to present at a future meeting.

There are a lot of things going on.

• February 2025 is a "Capabilities" Testing and Demonstration month.   See current list of topics at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Af7hWa0Zm30EuqsV1PbekSjb--gXAsVG?usp=drive_link 
  • Please consider participating in one or more and feel free to edit existing documents or add new ones
• The Tier-2s need to come up with a plan for how to use extra funds during this calendar year.
  • Highest priority is ensuring each of our Tier-2s will have 400 Gbps links by the end of 2029 (but it may be too early to spend directly on that now)
  • Each Tier-2 should be engaging the the relevant campus and regional networks to discuss their upgrade plans and timelines
  • Also consider needs for the funds to fix infrastructure issues (power, cooling)
  • First version of a WBS 2.3.2 document is due by the end of this month, with details needed by July scrubbing
• Ongoing Jumbo frames testing is proceeding smoothly.  
  • Today is the last "regular" frames transfer testing from CERN-PROD_PILOT to both NET2 and BNL, tomorrow and Friday will be Jumbo frame testing
