Hi Heather,
re: current connection to NG relay is marginal

Very good.
FYI: I do not know if the slowness of the test feed to gale.unidata.ucadr.edu
is a function of the security imposed on this connection, or if it is a
function of the security of the connection between the relay and your
NOAAPort ingest machine. What I do know, is that the volume of data being
fed off of the new relay is on the order of 50% of the volume of the
feeds being populated by NOAAPort ingesters.

Hmm...
What is needed:
- connection to running LDM via port 388 hopefully without any
"packet shaping" (artificial limitation on traffic)
Security:
- Wright Patterson AFB ran a security audit on the LDM within the
past year. Issues that they brought to our attention were addressed
by code modifications that met their security criteria.
- the LDM is used by the U.S. NWS to collect and disseminate NEXRAD Level
2 (full volume scan) radar data in real-time
- Raytheon has bundled the LDM with AWIPS-II for use at NWS WFOs
They also bundled our NOAAPort ingest package (now part of the LDM
installation) with AWIPS-II.
- NASA uses the LDM for internal distribution of weather data
- the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers uses the LDM for collecting and
redistributing weather data
- the LDM is used by weather services in several countries to collect
and redistribute weather data (e.g., Canada, Brazil, China, South
Korea, Taiwan)
- the LDM is being used by a variety of commercial entities for collection
and redistribution of weather data (e.g., The Weather Company (which owns
WSI, The Weather Underground, etc.), Baron Services, Universal Weather &
Aviation
Inc., etc.
- the LDM/IDD is the primary vehicle used by the U.S. atmospheric science
community for the collection of real-time weather data for use in
education and research
- to our knowledge, there has never been a successful hack of the
LDM system

> Thanks, and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday!
Thanksgiving was great!! I hope you had as much fun as I did :-)
Cheers,
Tom
