10. IPv6 experience in a mixed unix environment

Mattias Wadenstein (NDGF / HPC2N / ACC)

5/9/08, 9:45 AM

Networking infrastructure and computer security

We have been using the Academic Computer Club at Umeå University as our testbed for IPv6 deployment, this includes some popular public services like a rather big free software mirror as well as workstations and multi-user machines in a semi-production environment. This talk gives an overview of the various pitfalls as well as what "just works", with some pointers on what kind of systems and...

40. Advanced Monitoring Techniques for the Atlas TDAQ Data Network

Matei Ciobotaru (CERN, UC Irvine, Politehnica Bucharest)

5/9/08, 10:15 AM

Networking infrastructure and computer security

We describe the methods used to monitor and measure the performance of the Atlas TDAQ data network. The network consists of four distinct Ethernet networks interconnecting over 4000 ports using up to 200 edge switches and five multi-blade chassis. The edge networks run at 1Gbps and 10Gb/s are used for the detectors raw data flow as well as at the cores of the data flow networks. The networks...
