Hi Giovanni,

The IDD streams contain all of the data that is available, so as long
as you are requesting the entire stream (the ".*" regular expression
used in a ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf 'request' line), you will be getting
everthing that is available.

Perhaps you are not processing all of the data you are receiving?

Yes, it is an incredible storm!
