On March 9 a request for assistance of network engineers was made to help determine the reason for apparent network performance problems which affected the quality of the digital video component. This event is significant in that it represents excellent global collaborative network engineering support for international research. A number of very successful research demonstrations utilizing the TransPAC network were conducted at the Global Observation Information Network 1999 conference. From the beginning, GOIN was intended to be a prototype for an eventual world wide observation network linking providers and users of Earth observation data everywhere. Participating agencies and institutions in both countries have voluntarily contributed scientific and networking expertise in conducting cooperative pilot projects involving atmosphere and oceans, land, solar-terrestrial and networks.
Expenditures are within budget.
Nothing to report. Performance measurement of the 70 Mbps service. Additional work in establishing a reliable environment for performance testing. Continued work on the follow-up of applications. She logged him in and he installed netperf.
