Abstract
KENET operates the national research and education network (NREN) of Kenya and has deployed Internet Measurement tools that are used for network performance monitoring. This paper focuses on the deployment of perfSONAR and how it has been utilized for end-to-end network performance measurements by researchers in Kenya who need to collaborate with researchers in other parts of the world. perfSONAR is a widely-deployed test and measurement infrastructure that is used by science networks around the world to monitor and ensure network performance. The paper introduces some of the measurement metrics that can be queried from the openly accessible data archive provided by the infrastructure based on real measurements done from within the KENET network. End-to-end measurement metrics provided by the deployed infrastructure is important for researchers, policy makers and regulators especially in Africa where such measurement metrics are not openly available or collated.
