The Janet end-to-end performance initiative aims to help communities optimize the use of the Janet network for data-intensive applications by identifying and sharing best practices, raising awareness of issues that impact performance, and promoting awareness of what high performance is possible. The initiative documents techniques for tuning end systems, data transfer tools, local site networks, and application monitoring. Today's talks provide an overview of some key topics addressed by the initiative.
