Description
With this lightning talk, we want to recap 20 years of the perfSONAR project, a major open-source software development effort that provides a network performance monitoring framework and infrastructure used by R&E communities and networks throughout the world.
The perfSONAR project is nearing 20 years of existence. Since the first ideas were developed at the beginning of the new millennium, the project has gone through many different stages and iterations, with many different organisations and people participating in it. perfSONAR has many faces: it is a performance monitoring toolkit, it is a free, open-source software suite, it is a performance verification infrastructure, it is an international global R&E collaboration. All of that, and more.
