Network Monitoring Schema (DataGrid WP-07)

The application of computer processing and information retrieval has lead scientists to an increasing need to transfer petabytes of data across the internet. With the proposal of the GRID, the storage and retrieval of data across the GRID is increasingly integral to its design, so much so that it has become necessary to store performance data to identify the data transfer qualities of the GRID from one host to another.

In this paper, we will describe the basic Globus Data Grid architecture, give an account of some basic networking monitoring utilities and their application to GRID environments and then propose a method of storing such information for retrieval on LDAP.
