This is a part of the perfSONAR infrastructure, the component has been 
described in the original architecture documents and the existence of 
this service is not new (was developed in conjunction with DICE control 
plane activities).

Are you seeing this as misleading because there is not an MDM 
implementation that matches functionality?  There are several services 
that are in MDM that are not in pSPS and vice versa, the common thread 
being they are all 'perfSONAR' since they speak the protocols.

Thanks;
