GAIN F-ticks service (based on positive experience and tools of eduroam, AAI@Edu. Hr, SWAMID, …) • Ticks – will be sent by the Id. Ps (even one per federation can sufice in pilot phase? ) – can be collected by more than one aggregator • Aggregator – Will provide public stats (popular SPs per Id. P, popular Id. Ps per SP, …) – Will provide additional stats for Id. P/SP » Stats of failed AA might be used for diagnostics • Value for actors (Id. Ps in particular) – ready to consume measurement dana – Logs in f-ticks format might be processed with other (common) tools
