Description
Since TNC25, we transformed HAWAT from experimental to production-ready on Internet2's network, with open-source containers available. The breakthrough is federated troubleshooting across organizations: our Looking Glass service lets organisations independently deploy and control what commands they expose, and HAWAT queries multiple instances to diagnose cross-network issues, isolating packet loss between universities or tracing BGP behavior across peers. Like perfSONAR, federated Looking Glass creates value that no single organisation can replicate alone.
This federated architecture is one pillar of a broader AIOps initiative, the natural progression of our work since TNC25, including an Agent-to-Agent (A2A) interoperability proof-of-concept with SURF, who presented complementary work at a recent session, demonstrating that AI agents from independent NRENs can collaborate on network diagnostics across organisational boundaries.
We'll demonstrate cross-organisational troubleshooting using a multi-network virtual environment and discuss participation opportunities. Attendees will see practical multi-network troubleshooting in action and explore how the AIOps platform can extend to their own infrastructure.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?
Attendees will learn how to deploy HAWAT and Looking Glass containers in their own environments, see live demonstration of AI-assisted troubleshooting across network boundaries, and understand the architectural decisions that enable federated operation. They will also have the opportunity to join pilots and contribute to designing the discovery and federation mechanisms that will allow this capability to scale across the R&E community.
