SUMMARY:SANReN’s 100 Gbps Data Transfer Service: Transferring data fast!
DESCRIPTION:Kasandra Pillay, Johann Hugo, Ajay Makan, Thokozani Khwela, Th
 uso Bogopa, and Manqoba Shabalala (Council for Scientific and Industrial R
 esearch (CSIR), South Africa)\n\nTransferring large amounts of data poses 
 a significant challenge, often resulting in poor performance and slow spee
 ds. With the upgrade of the core national South African National Research 
 Network (SANReN) backbone network capacity, 100 Gbps DTNs have been implem
 ented in Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa with Globus data transfe
 r software installed. Implemented, as part of the DTNs onto a single hardw
 are platform, is perfSONAR functionality used for monitoring, troubleshoot
 ing and diagnosis of network issues. Leveraging the infrastructure deploye
 d as part of the AmLight Express and Protect (AmLight-Exp) collaboration u
 sing the South Atlantic Cable System (SACS) connecting Africa and the US, 
 the SANReN 100 Gbps combined DTN/perfSONAR nodes were demonstrated at the 
 Supercomputing23 conference hosted in Denver, Colorado, United States of A
 merica in 2023. Several tests were subsequently conducted from December 20
 23 to July 2024, which are presented in this paper.\n\nTag: Architecture,
