[CONDUIT #CPL-818261]: CONDUIT data and GFS

Hi Wesley,

Hmm...  The real time stats that both UW/AOS and UIllnois
show that they appear to be receiving all of the CONDUIT data:

UW/AOS:
http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?CONDUIT+idd.aos.wisc.edu

UIllinois
http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?CONDUIT+flood.atmos.uiuc.edu

The product residency time in the LDM queues at UW and UIllnois are not
as long as we would like, but all of the data is flowing into them.

Yes, the file size drop matches the decrease in CONDUIT volume being
reported in your real time stats.

Questions:

- are you experiencing difficulties with other IDD datastreams
  that you are ingesting?

  The sharp drop off has a hint that there may be some "packet
  shaping" (artificial bandwidth limiting) going on, or that
  you have actually saturated your network connection.  Comparing
  what is happening with other IDD feeds will help to clarify
  if either of these scenarios reflect what is happening.

- would it be possible for us to get a login as your 'ldm'
  user so we could poke around?

Cheers,

Tom
