GÉANT Tools

PERT Staff can access a range of tools for checking the status of the GÉANT network by logging into http://stats.geant.net/ (if a member of the PERT does not have an account for this site they should contact DANTE operations operations@dante.org.uk).

The following tools are available:

GÉANT2 Usage Map

For each country currently connected to GÉANT, this map shows the level of usage of the access link connecting the country's national research network to GÉANT.

Weather map

Map showing the GÉANT routers and the circuits interconnecting them. The circuits are coloured according to their utilisation. The 'Detailed Weather Map' includes utilisation of the NREN access circuits

GEANT2 Taksometro,GEANT Taksometro

Long-term statistics of GÉANT and NREN access traffic. Includes Class-of-service information. LOGIN REQUIRED

GEANT2 Looking Glass

this allows users to execute basic operational commands on GÉANT(2) routers, including ping, traceroute and show route IPv4 and IPv6 Beacon: Beacon nodes are located in the majority of GÉANT PoPs. They send and receive a specific mulitcast group, and from this are able to infer the performance of all multicast traffic throughout GÉANT.

VLBI Statistics

Statistics particular to the eVLBI project.

HADES Measure Points: These network performance Measurement Points (MPs) run DFN's HADES IPPM software (OWD, OWDV, packet loss) and also iperf/BWCTL. PERT engineers can log in to the devices and run AB tests (they should use common sense so as not to overload low capacity or already heavily loaded paths).

BWCTL Measurement Points: NRENs can run BWCTL/iperf tests to, from and between GEANT2's BWCTL servers. Click here for more information.
