1. AL Albania ALBGRID yes ... yes 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 ...
2. AM Armenia ANGI no ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
3. AT Austria AustrianGrid no ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
4. BY Belarus BNGI yes ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
5. BE Belgium BEgrid no ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
6. BA Bosnia-Herzegovina NGI_BA yes ... yes 3 4 3 4 4 2 2 ...
7. BG Bulgaria BGI yes ... yes 3 2 3 3 3 3 3 ...
8. HR Croatia CRO NGI yes no yes 3 1 3 3 4 3 2 B:
1)
EGI PERT will confuse users (and community) as it would be
very hard to distinguish ‘network(data transfer issues)
performance’ from e.g. ‘computing performance’; perhaps EGI netPERT

2) In a specific situation of course that
Network AND Grid/Middleware know is needed / welcomed.

3) With further / more clear elaboration and
‘not only a dispatcher role (Answer 3)’
we see this service as a useful service in community

C:We have a ‘schedule maintenance’ notification procedure
in operation (agreed by Croatian NREN - CARNet),
and it looks useful for grid community in Croatia.
In our opinion, similar NGI-NREN collaboration
is needed in every EU/World country.

9. CY Cyprus CGI yes yes yes 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 ...
10. CZ Czech Republic MetaCentrum yes yes yes 3 4 4 3 5 3 3
11. DK Denmark <TBA> no ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
12. FI Finland CSC/Funet yes yes yes 3 4 4 3 5 4 6 B: In establishing this function, one important starting
point is coordination with existing activities
within NRENs and DANTE/GÉANT.

C:ideally, both push and pull functionalities
might be implemented. The interface towards
the information providers(NRENs) should be made
as simple as possible (eg. one email address).
D: closely related to PERT.
G:AS CSC is both NGI and NREN, we might
have persons suitable for this function.

13. FR France IDG/CNRS yes no yes 1 5 3 4 6 4 4 A: If the network problem will occur within the French NGI,
French sites will contact the appropriate network provider.
If the problem is a remote problem ( a French site cannot join a foreign site ), we will check with Down Collector tool ;
then if the status of the foreign site is still ‘unreachable’,
it will be useful to escalate the problem either
toward EGI network support team
or towards the contact person for the network
support of the remote NGI

C: We prefer “the pull approach” in a first step,
however we think that would be very useful but difficult
to achieve from our experience of EGEE SA2.
F: One should check if Nagios Box do not provide
already the same feature.

14. GE Georgia GEO-GRID yes yes yes 3 4 3 3 3 2 2 ...
15. DE Germany NGI-DE yes no yes 3 3 3 2 3 3 2 B: The Grid/Middleware knowledge is present at each attached site

D: constant service monitoring --> like developed at Dante MDM-system
E: Re use/invent of MDM/Hades Monitoring system
F: LHC-SAM could be copied
G: maybe a corresponding group to OSCT could cover this task

16. GR Greece Hellasgrid yes yes yes 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 ...
17. HU Hungary MGKK yes ... yes 4 4 3 2 4 2 2 ...
18. IE Ireland GridIreland yes ... yes 3 4 1 3 3 4 6 C: Not every site is of interest to the VOs.
Most VOs and Users are only interested
in knowing about the availability of the services
that directly affect them ( WMS,LB, MyProxy, Top-BDII etc).

F: Multiple down collectors could be used,
and these must be in general agreement
about the state of the service (the timing must
be in sufficient synchronization to ensure accuracy)
before generating any alarm.
G: Can contribute as part of TNA2.3 effort
(Policy Development – we however,
cannot lead this))

28. PL Poland PL-Grid yes no yes 3 4 3 3 5 4 2 D. E. and F. could be combined in a common tool or group of tools and its development should be synchronized.

Contribution to E. and F. needs to be confirmed when expected resources and effort will be known.

G. We do not see a strong need for such a group, especially not merged with PERT. But if a group will be setup we can consider a way of participation.

29. PT Portugal NGI-PT yes no yes 2 5 2 4 1 1 6 B: Yes, but working as an advice group since
the capacity to act at the site level is low

D: The monitoring system is valuable.
An infrastructure for on demand testing
and monitoring should be created.
E: Option D already seems sufficient.
F: Option D (on demand monitoring)
should cover these needs.

37. CH Switzerland SwiNG yes no yes 5 4 3 3 5 3 5 A:There’s a single person to contact:
A. Aeschlimann, no replacement.
There’s very few available time resources.

E: There’s very few available time resources.

38. TR Turkey TR-Grid yes yes yes 5 4 3 3 4 2 2 A: TUBITAK ULAKBIM (NGI_TR coordinator) is
also managing NREN. Manpower
will be given on a best effort basis.

41. EIRO EMBL EMBL no ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
42. TW Taiwan ASGC ... yes 4 3 3 3 5 3 4 A: The up today status report of the ticket is valuable
to users to arrange their work in a more
efficient way. ASGC definitely would provide first
level network monitoring support to Asia partners.
But, currently the manpower resource is still
not enough to service entire NGI project partners.

B: Yes, it is good to have such kind of support team.
But, the team seems not easy to be
formed and maintained.
G: I’m worried that this would be too difficult to achieve.
