Hi Tom, A heads up on your ldmd.conf file. Since you are getting the NLDN data, and it is propriatary data, you should place an ALLOW ANY-NLDN .... instead of ALLOW ANY UAH has been getting NLDN data from you, this is NOT OK, it could jeopardize the entire feed. So, please make the appropriate changes to ldmd.conf. Scott, If you desire to get the NLDN feed this needs to be set up with David Knight at SUNY-Albany: address@hidden ALL NLDN feeds are point to point and not part of the IDD feed. Thank you for your cooperation, -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 NWS-COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ Jeff, While trying to ascertain the topology of the MCIDAS feed for the replacement machine at Wisconsin, Tom and I ran across a topology problem in the feed of data from yin.engin.umich.edu to aqua.nsstc.uah.edu. Looking at the ~ftp/pub/idd/latency.input.1 file, you see that striker is not feeding a host at uah.edu. However, the topo message from umich.edu shows they are feeding "ANY" to uah.edu, while at the same time, umich is receiving NLDN on that machine: LDMBINSTATS no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042318 HDS 1125 6544993 + 20020423183456 noaaport.unidata.ucar.edu 0.55 17@1823 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042318 IDS|DDPLUS 4249 4576631 + 20020423183457 noaaport.unidata.ucar.edu 0.68 17@1823 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042318 MCIDAS 7 3575889 + 20020423183407 gold.ssec.wisc.edu 18.91 30@1758 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042318 FSL2 7 1226676 + 20020423183429 hero.fsl.noaa.gov 4.64 8@0454 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042318 NLDN 6 504 + 20020423183100 striker.atmos.albany.edu 16.01 16@3100 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042318 NNEXRAD 261 1725587 + 20020423183456 sunshine.ssec.wisc.edu 0.28 5@2204 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042317 HDS 5649 49428744 + 20020423175955 noaaport.unidata.ucar.edu 656.72 1218@0645 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042317 IDS|DDPLUS 6269 5334235 + 20020423175959 noaaport.unidata.ucar.edu 503.33 1215@0422 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042317 MCIDAS 5 3486727 + 20020423173732 gold.ssec.wisc.edu 100.45 257@3205 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042317 FSL2 11 1926108 + 20020423175818 hero.fsl.noaa.gov 7.63 38@1110 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042317 NLDN 10 840 + 20020423175500 striker.atmos.albany.edu 32.43 104@3100 no_runtime_link yin.engin.umich.edu 2002042317 NNEXRAD 557 3780644 + 20020423175959 sunshine.ssec.wisc.edu 0.24 5@3206 LDMEND TOPOLOGY yin.engin.umich.edu aqua.nsstc.uah.edu ANY unknown unknown yin.engin.umich.edu heron.nmt.edu WMO|SPARE unknown unknown TOPOEND And, finally, you see that uah.edu is receiving that NLDN data: LDMBINSTATS ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042319 HDS 4216 24032165 + 20020423193455 noaaport.unidata.ucar.edu 2.09 34@1806 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042319 IDS|DDPLUS 3567 3426336 + 20020423193456 noaaport.unidata.ucar.edu 2.07 33@1805 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042319 MCIDAS 7 3658816 + 20020423193411 gold.ssec.wisc.edu 33.81 60@1738 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042319 FSL2 7 1183956 + 20020423193433 hero.fsl.noaa.gov 7.13 17@1812 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042319 NLDN 6 560 + 20020423193100 striker.atmos.albany.edu 18.12 19@2500 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042319 NNEXRAD 260 1479708 + 20020423193444 sunshine.ssec.wisc.edu 0.81 15@1812 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042318 HDS 4666 39995448 + 20020423185959 noaaport.unidata.ucar.edu 6.43 41@5137 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042318 IDS|DDPLUS 6415 7144726 + 20020423185959 noaaport.unidata.ucar.edu 2.16 40@5137 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042318 MCIDAS 10 6197559 + 20020423183716 gold.ssec.wisc.edu 26.63 56@3716 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042318 FSL2 11 1776588 + 20020423185839 hero.fsl.noaa.gov 7.20 19@5249 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042318 NLDN 10 840 + 20020423185500 striker.atmos.albany.edu 16.52 18@4900 ldm-5.1.4 aqua.nsstc.uah.edu 2002042318 NNEXRAD 435 2818279 + 20020423185948 sunshine.ssec.wisc.edu 1.95 31@5152 LDMEND TOPOLOGY aqua.nsstc.uah.edu LeafNode NONE None None TOPOEND
