Sites IPP - FOM - UU

Below a description of the participating sites for the particular setup IPP - FOM - UU will be given. The same titles are used as in the Web pages displaying the results. The following hosts are used here:

• IPP; bandwidth: 10 Mbit/s; location: Jülich.
  This host is situated at the ``Institut für Plasmaphysik'', ``Forschungszentrum Jülich''. The IPP will participate in the remote participation services, discussed in this report.
• ZELAS; bandwidth: 10 Mbit/s; location: Jülich.
  This host is situated at the ``Central Electronics Laboratory'', FZJ. This host has been add to make a comparison possible with the host at the IPP and to be able to measure the inluences local net congestion.
• ZAM; bandwidth: 100 Mbit/s; location: Jülich.
  This host is situated at the ``Zentralinstitut für Angewandte Mathematik'', FZJ. It is situated near the router and has a larger bandwidth available than the IPP host. Hence its participation in the tests.
• RUS; bandwidth: 10 Mbit/s; location: Stuttgart.
  This host is situated at the ``Rechenzentrum der Universität Stuttgart''. It has been add to check for congestion at the ``Deutsche Forschungsnetz'' (DFN).
• SARA; bandwidth: 100 Mbit/s; location: Amsterdam.
  This host is situated at the ``Academic Computing Services Amsterdam''. It is situated near the backbone of the Dutch SURFnet network.
• FOM; bandwidth: 10 Mbit/s; location: Nieuwegein.
  This host is situated at the ``FOM-Institute for Plasma Physics''. The FOM is also a participant in the remote participation services.
• UU-36; bandwidth: 100Mbit/s; location Utrecht.
  This host is situated at the ``Institute for Computational Physics'', Utrecht University.

The topology of the network between these sites is shown in figure 2.
