Hi folks,


Has anyone got decent performance out of SRB <http://www.sdsc.edu/srb/>
and its Sput utility?

The main loop looks like this

    while ((nbytes = fread(buf, 1, BUFSIZE,(FILE *)infile_fd ))>0)
      {
        wbytes = srbObjWrite(conn, out_fd, buf, nbytes);
        if (wbytes != nbytes) {
          fprintf(stderr, "Sput: write error in srbObject %s/%s: %i\n",
                  collName,dataName,wbytes);
          fprintf(stderr, "Sput: Sput: Exiting \n");
          srbObjClose (conn, out_fd);
          fclose(infile_fd);
          free(buf);
          return -1;
        }
      }
    free(buf);
    srbObjClose (conn, out_fd);
    fclose(infile_fd);

where srbObjWrite() does a RPC to the server to ask it to request
the next block from this client.

res = clFunct(conn, F_SRBO_WRITE,(char *) &retval,&resultLen,1,argv,2);

where clFunc has an RTT to the server

    mySrbResult = clReadServerReturn (conn, resultBuf, actualResultLen,
                                      resultIsInt);

I think this raises some interesting issues as round-trip time increases
(ie, clients in Australia).

Cheers,
Glen

You might be able to provide them with some tuning advice.

Hi George,

After working around some bottlenecks at our end - I am pretty confident
we doing things correctly at our end.


I have asked KEK to check their end - but we are seeing no improvement
so far on the transfer rate we used to see to KEK:

Sput -f -M -V -S gl01-unix-srb debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
LOCAL:debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso->SRB:debian-testing-i386- netinst.iso | 146.758 MB | 1.263 MB/s | 116.15 s | 2006.01.17 12:14:51 | 16 thr


So - we see 1.263 MB/s to gl01.cc.kek.jp from unimelb. The same transfer
to anusf sees about 20 times that rate. This is with 16 transfer threads
operating in parallel.


Any hints or tips?

I'm happy to run any transfer test you'd like to see.

cheers,
glenn.

you should now be seeing an SXTransPORT path to Seattle (and from
there a 2.5Gbps path on SINET).  This is not yet true for APAC.



If you have some Terabyte datasets at UniMelb can you try sending them
to Tsukuba.




Bear in mind that once there is fat pipes on the backbone and
internationally, the likelihood is that other bottlenecks will show up
(end user equipment, local or far end networks, stack tuning issues,
protocol issues, etc – remember all those talk about end-to-end
performance at the HEP meeting in Daegu Geoff?). So it will be
interesting to see what happens.

Hi George (and otehrs),

Actually, the route has now changed (see below), and we are seeing lower
bandwidth.


Running iperf between unimelb and KEK I have seen very large
fluctuations in the bandwidth in the last few hours. Up to 60 MBit/s,
and now down to 5 MBit/s.

Is something happening with the routing?

cheers,
glenn.

Hi George,

After working around some bottlenecks at our end - I am pretty confident
we doing things correctly at our end.


I have asked KEK to check their end - but we are seeing no improvement
so far on the transfer rate we used to see to KEK:


Sput -f -M -V -S gl01-unix-srb debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
LOCAL:debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso->SRB:debian-testing-i386- netinst.iso | 146.758 MB | 1.263 MB/s | 116.15 s | 2006.01.17 12:14:51 | 16 thr


So - we see 1.263 MB/s to gl01.cc.kek.jp from unimelb. The same transfer
to anusf sees about 20 times that rate. This is with 16 transfer threads
operating in parallel.


Any hints or tips?

I'm happy to run any transfer test you'd like to see.

cheers,
glenn.

you should now be seeing an SXTransPORT path to Seattle (and from
there a 2.5Gbps path on SINET).  This is not yet true for APAC.



If you have some Terabyte datasets at UniMelb can you try sending them
to Tsukuba.




Bear in mind that once there is fat pipes on the backbone and
internationally, the likelihood is that other bottlenecks will show up
(end user equipment, local or far end networks, stack tuning issues,
protocol issues, etc – remember all those talk about end-to-end
performance at the HEP meeting in Daegu Geoff?). So it will be
interesting to see what happens.

Hi George (and otehrs),

Actually, the route has now changed (see below), and we are seeing
lower
bandwidth.

Running iperf between unimelb and KEK I have seen very large
fluctuations in the bandwidth in the last few hours. Up to 60 MBit/s,
and now down to 5 MBit/s.


Is something happening with the routing?

Hi George (and otehrs),

Actually, the route has now changed (see below), and we are seeing
lower
bandwidth.

Running iperf between unimelb and KEK I have seen very large
fluctuations in the bandwidth in the last few hours. Up to 60 MBit/s,
and now down to 5 MBit/s.


Is something happening with the routing?

cheers,

Hi George,

After working around some bottlenecks at our end - I am pretty
confident
we doing things correctly at our end.

I have asked KEK to check their end - but we are seeing no
improvement
so far on the transfer rate we used to see to KEK:

Sput -f -M -V -S gl01-unix-srb  debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
LOCAL:debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso->SRB:debian-testing-i386-
netinst.iso | 146.758 MB | 1.263 MB/s | 116.15 s | 2006.01.17
12:14:51 | 16 thr

So - we see 1.263 MB/s to gl01.cc.kek.jp from unimelb. The same
transfer
to anusf sees about 20 times that rate. This is with 16 transfer
threads
operating in parallel.

Any hints or tips?

I'm happy to run any transfer test you'd like to see.

cheers,
glenn.

Many thanks Geoff



you should now be seeing an SXTransPORT path to Seattle (and from
there a 2.5Gbps path on SINET).  This is not yet true for APAC.



If you have some Terabyte datasets at UniMelb can you try sending
them
to Tsukuba.



Bear in mind that once there is fat pipes on the backbone and
internationally, the likelihood is that other bottlenecks will
show up
(end user equipment, local or far end networks, stack tuning issues,
protocol issues, etc – remember all those talk about end-to-end
performance at the HEP meeting in Daegu Geoff?). So it will be
interesting to see what happens.




good luck

Bruce, Mark and Steve – please note wrt SXTransPORT and the
Australia-KEK (Tsukuba) data transfers.






Glenn and Geoff – We now have Jumbo Frames peering between
SXTransPORT and TWAREN/TANET2 in Seattle, so a jumbo- frame
high capacity path should now be available to the Academia

this and with Simon Lin and his colleagues. We’ll
probably see
Simon in Tokyo.

Hi George (and otehrs),

Actually, the route has now changed (see below), and we are seeing
lower
bandwidth.

Running iperf between unimelb and KEK I have seen very large
fluctuations in the bandwidth in the last few hours. Up to 60
MBit/s,
and now down to 5 MBit/s.

Is something happening with the routing?

cheers,
glenn.

Hi George,

After working around some bottlenecks at our end - I am pretty
confident
we doing things correctly at our end.

I have asked KEK to check their end - but we are seeing no
improvement
so far on the transfer rate we used to see to KEK:

Sput -f -M -V -S gl01-unix-srb  debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
LOCAL:debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso->SRB:debian-testing-i386-
netinst.iso | 146.758 MB | 1.263 MB/s | 116.15 s | 2006.01.17
12:14:51 | 16 thr

So - we see 1.263 MB/s to gl01.cc.kek.jp from unimelb. The same
transfer
to anusf sees about 20 times that rate. This is with 16 transfer
threads
operating in parallel.

Any hints or tips?

I'm happy to run any transfer test you'd like to see.

cheers,
glenn.

Many thanks Geoff



you should now be seeing an SXTransPORT path to Seattle (and from
there a 2.5Gbps path on SINET). This is not yet true for APAC.




If you have some Terabyte datasets at UniMelb can you try sending
them
to Tsukuba.




Bear in mind that once there is fat pipes on the backbone and
internationally, the likelihood is that other bottlenecks will
show up
(end user equipment, local or far end networks, stack tuning
issues,
protocol issues, etc – remember all those talk about end-to-end
performance at the HEP meeting in Daegu Geoff?). So it will be
interesting to see what happens.



good luck

        Can you please confirm that the SXTransPORT Schedule
(Schedule
        5 of the Agreement) is also signed, and if by any chance
not,
        then arrange for that to be executed at the earliest
        opportunity.





        Bruce, Mark and Steve – please note wrt SXTransPORT and
the
        Australia-KEK (Tsukuba) data transfers.





Glenn and Geoff – We now have Jumbo Frames peering between
SXTransPORT and TWAREN/TANET2 in Seattle, so a jumbo- frame
high capacity path should now be available to the Academia
Sinica TEIR1 LHC site in Taiwan – we need to talk more
about
this and with Simon Lin and his colleagues. We’ll
probably see
Simon in Tokyo.






        Edwin – can you please let me know of any other specific
        SXTransPORT requirements over and above those we are
already
        liaising with the respective parties on

Dear Mary, Don and George,




The UofM's legal team are sending the signed AARNet Member
Agreement back through James Flowers, and I expect James
will
receive that by courier this week.





Research staff are keen to begin testing on Sxtransport. If there are any technical or other barriers to the use of SXTransport could you please advise me.




Many Thanks,
