Abstract

In this paper we present a system for monitoring and controlling dynamic network circuits inside the USLHCNet network. This distributed service system provides in near real-time complete topological information for all the circuits, resource allocation and usage, accounting, detects automatically failures in the links and network equipment, generate alarms and has the functionality to take automatic actions. The system is developed based on the MonALISA framework, which provides a robust monitoring and controlling service oriented architecture, with no single points of failure.
