measurements on the WACREN network and in the NEAAR project area. He\u00a0 will demonstrate the value they bring to the operation of the networks. We will also present the latest perfSONAR software features and its development roadmap going forward, including a preview of the two new GUI tools mentioned above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During his presentation on the NEA3R collaboration, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edward Moynihan<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will begin by providing an overview of the NEA3R project, highlighting changes and improvements to the NEAAR infrastructure. The talk will then focus on the services being provided, specifically on how the NEA3R project is using NetSage to better understand network usage and data transfer performance of international circuits. He will close the talk by highlighting practical science engagement use cases centered on US\/West Africa science collaborations and show how network engineers, researchers, network planners, and CIOs can use NetSage to understand network usage and data transfer performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AFRINIC and ISOC will present the MIRA (Measuring Internet Resilience in Africa) project. The first part of the talk will present an Internet Resilience framework which will be used to evaluate the ability of a network (and by aggregate a country) to provide stable and reliable means of connectivity to the Internet. As such we will present the metrics and the methodology adopted to calculate an Internet Resilience Index. In the second part of the talk, we will present some preliminary analysis of throughput in countries where the MIRA pods (measurement devices) where deployed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span
