Speakers: Mr. Wes Medley Federal Systems Engineer with Foundry Networks Donald Becker CTO of Penguin Computing, and CS of the Scyld Software division Abstracts: Foundry Networks and Inmon Corporation will provide a technology brief on sFlow, a new network monitoring technology. sFlow provides a network-wide view of user level traffic flows. sFlow is a scalable technique for measuring network traffic, collecting, storing, and analyzing network traffic data. sFlow allows administrators of Supercomputing Clusters to understand possible congestion points within their application traffic flow information and to analysis traffic flows to ensure correct cluster operation. Donald Becker will give a brief review of the Interconnect and Switch Fabrics for Clusters. Donald is one of the world experts on network drivers, having created most of the network drivers for the Linux during the first decade of its existance. He was the founder of the first company that specialized in commerical cluster management software, SCYLD. ____ This month's meeting will be in our Maryland venue, the Northrop Grumman Information Technology Offices at 7501 Greenway Center Drive, Suite 1200 Greenbelt, MD, 20770 See http://www.bwbug.org/ web page for directions.
