Hi Grant, re: upgrading your LDM > We will wait for v6.10.2 before upgrading. Sounds good; that's what I would do. re: > The old configuration was done many years ago. I believe it was due to > latency issues and this configuration was suggested. I just remembered that a _long_ time ago, the bandwidth into DRI was very bad. I also remember recommending splitting the feed REQUESTs into smaller and smaller chunks to see if that would solve the latency issues. re: > I will look into combining the pgrbf and pgrb2f requests. The thing to pay attention to is the latency plots: Unidata HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Projects -> Internet Data Distribution http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/index.html#idd IDD Current Operational Status http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/rtstats/ Look for your machine(s) and then review the latency links for each feed. re: > Also, I've looked around on the unidata website for a way to add myself as > a point of contact for LDM at dri.edu, but I can't seem to find anywhere > to do so. Could you point me in the right direction? Actually, we make these changes. I have just updated the DRI information, so please take a look and let us know if anything needs to be modified: Unidata HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Projects -> Internet Data Distribution http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/index.html#idd IDD Current Operational Status http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/rtstats/ Site Contact List http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/sitelist.html Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
