0) Agenda review - No changes
1) perfSONAR v4.0
Andy summarized the status of perfSONAR v4.0. Original release was beginning of December. Stability has been an issue. Going for
RC3 early in January. Testing showing a much more stable version. Not yet in staging (testbed is orange). Lots of bug fixes.
Face-to-face for perfSONAR developers in January and final released around ~February.
Discussion of some errors in RC2 build 18 testing.

- Status and plans for RC3: Plan is to test thoroughly once RC3 is ready. Jorge will help pilot.
- Status and plans for release. Push for update campaign. Will need the standalone mesh-config that Soichi is working. PuNDIT status: targeting test RPMS
around the time of RC3. Goal is to have v1.0 RPMS available shortly after pS v4.0 is released.
2) SC16 discussion and results
Shawn reported on Caltech booth and multiple 100G circuits, SC16 external network usage record and OSiRIS demo.
3) Open vSwitch experiences
Shawn reported on Open vSwitch (2.6.1) on USATLAS resources. Plan is to convert USATLAS production resources at participating sites to using
Open vSwitch. Allows traffic shaping and visibility for OpenFlow. Needs further testing for bullet-proof reconfiguration. Working with SL6.7 with
stock kernel and also with mainline (4.8.11) kernel as well as CentOS 7.3. Instructions pages not ready yet :(
4) Update on Analytics
Rob reported on disruptions in the UC analytics platform. Has about 20 users. Some queries exhausted memory and took down the system.
Problems have been easy to resolve quickly. Sometimes re-indexing is required to keep things operating smoothly.
5) Round-table
Garhan mentioned packet-loss at Nebraska (long ago). Packet loss has gotten worse at Nebraska. Has narrowed it down to any path going from
Nebraska via ESnet. Tests using owping now showing loss. Path to ESnet in Chicago goes via Internet2 (AL2S circuit). Internet2 MaDDash (from Marian)
is visible here https://pas.net.internet2.edu/maddash-webui/
6) AOB and next meeting
Garhan: We have a testbed box from DYNES (perfsonar.unl.edu) that may need reinstalling. Shawn requested that we try to get it working by
updating from the staging repo once Andy gets newest fixes in place. If we still have problems we can pursue re-install. Jorge may be contacting
Garhan if he has issues with the box.
Marian posted the Pre-GDB indico page https://indico.cern.ch/event/571501/
Next meeting will be ~end of January 2017. Look for email on the list about this.
