Description
We regularly have users comment on the usefulness of perfSONAR if TimeMap is deployed in the network. It would be useful to clarify the differences between the 2 tools in our comparison table at https://www.perfsonar.net/gtk_comparison.html
TimeMap is described at https://network.geant.org/timemap/
Some differences that should be highlighted are:
- TimeMap is for the core network, measuring on network segments only, whereas perfSONAR is for the end-to-end measurements
- TimeMap is only doing latency and jitter measurements, perfSONAR metrics cover a more comprehensive range of network characteristics
- TimeMap automatically analyses the measurements to spot deviations, perfSONAR data analysis must be done externally
- TimeMap aims at giving helpful information for time-sensitive applications whereas perfSONAR is most useful for data-intensive applications
- TimeMap is meant to be used by network operators, perfSONAR is used by both network operators and end users
- TimeMap is restricted to a single network, perfSONAR operates across networks in a multi-domain setting.
