Plugin Name Registry

This page serves as a registry for all names used by pScheduler plugins in production code. The registry's purpose is to ensure that their meanings are consistent globally (e.g., that a latency test has the same semantics everywhere).

Naming Guidelines

NOTE: The key words must, must not, required, shall, shall not, should, should not, recommended, may and optional in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

• Names must consist of lowercase letters, digits and hyphens.
• Names must be unique within a plugin type.
• Names must not collide between the following plugin types:
  • Test and Tool
• Names must not begin with a hyphen.
• Names must not begin with x-. This prefix is reserved for experimental plugins and is not guaranteed to be globally-unique.
• Names should begin with a lowercase letter, except in the case where the name refers to a specific product whose name begins with a digit.
• Names for test plugins must refer to what is being measured and not the tool that carries out the measurement. (E.g., a test measuring the amount of time it takes for packets to propagate a network path would be named latency and not owamp.)
• Names must be accompanied by the identity of and contact information for the maintainer.
• Names must be reviewed by the perfSONAR development team (contact [email protected]) before inclusion.

Registrations

Names without a maintainer and contact information are registered by the perfSONAR Development Team, which can be reached at [email protected].

Some registrations may be placeholders for future projects.
