All,I've had a separate discussion with NETS, and I think the problem is with dsspub.
When attempting to ldmping dsspub from dsspub I get similar errors to those observed by external users:
bash:ldmpingJul 21 20:04:32 INFO: State Elapsed Port Remote_Host rpc_stat Jul 21 20:04:32 INFO: Resolving localhost to 127.0.0.1 took 0.000291 seconds Jul 21 20:04:42 ERROR: H_CLNTED 10.008459 388 localhost select: RPC: Timed out Jul 21 20:05:17 ERROR: ADDRESSED 9.999722 0 localhost RPC: Timed out Jul 21 20:05:52 ERROR: SVC_UNAVAIL 9.999705 0 localhost h_clnt_create(localhost): Timed out while creating connection Jul 21 20:06:27 ERROR: SVC_UNAVAIL 9.999712 0 localhost h_clnt_create(localhost): Timed out while creating connection
When I do the same on dssingest (ldmping dssingest from dssingest) I get a good response:
bash:ldmpingJul 21 20:05:34 INFO: State Elapsed Port Remote_Host rpc_stat Jul 21 20:05:34 INFO: Resolving localhost to 127.0.0.1 took 0.00032 seconds

I'd like to switch all operations over to dssingest until the dsspub problems are resolved.

Hi Doug, Manuel, et. al., re:We're currently having connectivity issues between ECMWF (tigge-ldm.ecmwf.int) and NCAR (dsspub.ucar.edu), CMA (tigge-cma- ncar.cma.gov.cn)and NCAR (dsspub.ucar.edu), and ECMWF (tigge-ldm.ecmwf.int) and Brazil ( tigge-ldm.cptec.inpe.br ). If you have any insight into the problem, it would be greatly appreciated.While I don't have any insight into what is causing the problem, I can offer my hunch: it is a routing problem in NLR. I say this because a traceroute to a Unidata user site hangs at the NLR node in Denver: traceroute tornado.geos.ulm.edutraceroute to tornado.geos.ulm.edu (198.202.242.22), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets1 flra-n140 (128.117.140.253) 1 ms 0 ms 0 ms 2 tcom-gs-1-n243-80.ucar.edu (128.117.243.85) 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 3 nlrb-frgp.frgp.net (192.43.217.113) 1 ms 1 ms 2 ms 4 frgp-nlr.frgp.net (192.43.217.138) 5 ms 2 ms 13 ms 5 hous-denv-82.layer3.nlr.net (216.24.186.27) 31 ms 31 ms 31 ms <hang> If I knew who to call, I would get on the horn to NLR (or I2?) to report the problem. Cheers, Tom-ECMWF has been unable to ldmping or retrieve data from NCAR's ldm server since ~July 10.
