6m)     3.19 Network
 
The document defines this as "The network used by the job" where the default metric is "total volume of data transferred in the specified unit".
 
Within NorduGrid, there is a need to be able to specify the amount of data moved as a part of the grid stagein, job execution and stageout process separately.
Evaluation: Editor will post history of the ?Network? discussion to the group. This is not (or should not be) a required field, so providers need not report ?network? if it is not relevant for their grid. It would be helpful to hear from sites who are doing network accounting.
