Session Abstract

The Network Diagnostic Tool is a server and client throughput test which was formerly part of the perfSONAR toolkit. M-Lab has continued to use NDT outside of perfSONAR, and has recently made updates to its implementation of ndt-server, so that it can run with modern Linux kernels and use tcp-info instrumentation instead of web100.

This meeting will provide a forum for developer discussions with perfSONAR developers with M-Lab and NSRC personnel, on the M-Lab team's development of NDT server, reference clients, and the new ndt7 protocol. The goal of this working meeting will be to provide overview and/or demonstration of this work, and to discuss potential interest in the perfSONAR and R&E network communities. NDT can provide functionality to the research and education community and this meeting will explore the best way to make it available to interested R&E networks.
