Open Programmable Architecture for Java-enabled Network DevicesTal Lavian Ph.D.
Current network devices enable connectivity between end systems given a set of protocol software bundled with vendor hardware. It is impossible for customers to add software functionality running locally on top of network devices to augment vendor software. Our vision is to open network devices so that customized software can be downloaded, allowing for more flexibility and with a focus on industry and customer specific solutions. This brings considerable value to the customer. We have chosen to use Java because we can reuse its security mechanism and
dynamically download software. We can isolate the Java VM and downloaded Java programs from the core router functionality. We implemented Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) on a family of network devices,
implemented an Open Services framework, and developed an SNMP MIB API and a Network API upon which we can demonstate the value of openness and programmability of network devices.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Code reviews are vital for ensuring good code quality. They serve as one of our last lines of defense against bugs and subpar code reaching production.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Microsoft Network Monitor
Microsoft Network Monitor is a tool for viewing the
contents of network packets that are being sent and
received over a live network connection or from a
previously captured data file. It provides filtering
options for complex analysis of network data.
There are two versions of Network Monitor.
i. The version that can be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site into Windows
Server 2008 is a powerful tool that can capture only traffic sent to or from its own
network interface.
ii. The enhanced version is more powerful and is available in Microsoft Systems
Management Server and System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). This Network
Monitor enables you to run in promiscuous mode, which means it can capture 100
percent of the network traffic available to the network interface. This information is
useful when you set up multiple monitoring stations access your network and then use
a central monitoring point to collect the data.
Knowing who uses a version of the tool in promiscuous mode helps to maintain a secure
network environment because sensitive data can be captured and examined. If you receive
reports that a Windows Server 2008 computer is not responding fast enough, you may want
to isolate the view of the network traffic that is being sent to or from that server. This tool is
useful to determine why a client application is faulting, or to determine if a hacker or virus is
attempting to access the computer over the network.
Features of Network Monitor 3:
Script-based parser model with frequent updates
Concurrent live capture sessions
Support for Windows 7
Support for 32-bit platforms and for 64-bit platforms
Support for network conversations and process tracking
API to access capture and parsing engine
Wireless Monitor Mode Capturing

OpenNMS (Open Network Management
System) is the world’s first enterprise grade
award winning network management
application platform with a long track record
of providing solutions for enterprises and
carriers, developed under the open source
model.
World’s First: The OpenNMS Project was started in July of 1999 and registered on Source
Forge in March of 2000. It has years of experience on the alternatives.
Enterprise Grade: It was designed from “day one” to monitor tens of thousands to
ultimately unlimited devices with a single instance. It brings the power, scalability and
flexibility that enterprises and carriers demand.
Application Platform: While OpenNMS is useful “out of the box,” it is designed to be
highly customizable to create a unique and integrated management solution.
Open Source: OpenNMS is 100% Free and Open Source software, with no license fees,
software subscriptions or special “enterprise” versions. There are no maintenance or upgrade
costs either. You can download, examine, modify and distribute the source code. Commercial
support, development, training, and professional services are available.
OpenNMS was designed to manage tens of thousands of devices from a single server as well
as manage unlimited devices using a cluster of servers. OpenNMS includes a discovery
engine to automatically configure and manage network devices without operator intervention.
It is written in Java and is published under the GNU General Public License.
OpenNMS is listed as one of the top 400 projects on Sourceforge and won the Best Systems
Management Tool at LinuxWorld Expo in August of 2005.
OpenNMS is known for its scalability. Although it can be easily used to manage a
small SMBnetwork, it is scalable enough to be used in place of large enterprise management
products such as HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli or IBM Micromuse.

Advanced IP Scanner
With the increasing size and complexity of networks today
it's a real necessity to have some sort of tool to be able to
check on the health and status of a network. Without one
we will not be able to get a real idea of what is going on
within the environment. Advanced IP Scanner is one such
tool.
Advanced IP Scanner is a reliable and free network
scanner to analyze LAN. The program shows all network
devices, gives access to shared folders and FTP servers,
provides remote control of computers (via RDP and
Radmin), and can even remotely switch computers off. It is
easy to use and runs as a portable edition. It should be the
first choice for every network admin.
Features of the Advanced IP Scanner
Export scan results to CSV
MAC address detection
Easy access to network shares
Remote access
Remote Wake- On LAN and Shut down
No installation required
This tool is developed by Famatech as a freeware. The latest version of this software is the
2.4.2601. File size is 8.39MB. Therefore this will not waste the storage space of the
computers. This is supported by almost all the windows operating systems. This is available
in multiple languages. Recent upgrades to the program include Unicode character support and
Windows 8 compatibility.
By using the Advanced IP Scanner you can quickly scan hundreds of IP addresses
simultaneously on class B and C networks.
Remote shutdown allows you to shut down any remote machine running Windows. You can
also remotely shut down a complete computer class with a few clicks. This comes in handy if
you need to reboot a machine for whatever reason at a remote site that you can't get to.
With the Wake-on-LAN feature you can wake any machine remotely, if the Wake-on-LAN
feature is supported by your network card. This allows you to start up computers that are
powered off by sending a command to the network interface card (NIC) then then proceeds to
start the computer.
15. 14
The Lists of computers saving and loading feature allows you to perform operations with a
specific list of computers. Simply save a list of computers you need and Advanced IP
Scanner will load it at start up automatically. This way you don't have to start from scratch
each time you run the program. You can choose whether to scan your entire network or just
the computers in Favorites list. You are also able to save your Favorites list for scanning
purposes and other operations.
You can scan RDP resources and access them directly from the program and as well as to run
ping, tracert, and SSH commands on a selected computer. It is also possible to launch the
program directly from the installer with no manual installation required.
Advanced IP Scanner is designed to work closely with the developer's Radmin remote
administration software, which adds capabilities. This integration lets you connect via
Radmin (if it's installed) to remote computers with just one click.
IP Scanner lets you scan your network, find all computers running Radmin Server, and
connect to any one of them with one click. The free Radmin Viewer needs to be installed on
your PC for you to access a remote machine running Radmin Server. With Radmin, you can
access the remote PC in Full Control, File Transfer, and Telnet modes.
Because of the above mentioned capabilities and features Advanced IP Scanner is far better
than the other networking devices that we chose.
