Robb, The ping -s and traceroutes to Colostate are a little shaky. The traceroute to cirrus.al.noaa.gov is great, a good routing because they are on the NSN as well. Would it be possible to feed from them (I assume they are getting everything plus FSL2) and keep aurora as a backup? I think if we could get a constant reliable feed that we would be free to feed someone. I am getting fairly comfortable with the ldm and Unix in general. We would certainly like to participate as much as possible. traceroute to cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 nsi-nsbfnm-gw.nsbf.nasa.gov (198.120.3.1) 2.310 ms 2.092 ms 2.282 ms 2 s-JPL-NSBFNM.NSN.NASA.GOV (128.161.167.1) 35.670 ms 33.873 ms 33.681 ms 3 s-NCAR1.NSN.NASA.GOV (128.161.97.2) 82.810 ms 76.565 ms 80.313 ms 4 s-sec.nsn.nasa.gov (128.161.150.2) 105.782 ms 116.077 ms 101.723 ms 5 brdwy-rtr.boulder.noaa.gov (140.172.6.253) 125.253 ms 121.415 ms 100.640 ms 6 2a121-asn1-bb.boulder.noaa.gov (140.172.6.52) 132.313 ms 112.375 ms 149.920 ms 7 cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73) 122.264 ms * 126.809 ms /usr/local/ldm/logs% ping -s cirrus.al.noaa.gov PING cirrus.al.noaa.gov: 56 data bytes 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=0. time=96. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=1. time=115. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=2. time=113. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=3. time=97. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=4. time=120. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=5. time=131. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=6. time=123. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=7. time=140. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=8. time=138. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=9. time=113. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=10. time=122. ms 64 bytes from cirrus.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.73): icmp_seq=11. time=135. ms ^C ----cirrus.al.noaa.gov PING Statistics---- 12 packets transmitted, 12 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 96/120/140
