Hi Hsie

re: what is the size of your LDM queue

OK, your LDM queue is 4 GB in size.  At peak times, rainbow is receiving
over 38 GB of data from all feeds:

The peak time volume is heavily dominated by CONDUIT data.  So, at peak
reception times, the products being received have to be processed out
of the LDM queue within about 6 minutes.  Given this, I recommend that
you increase your LDM queue size to at last 8 GB or more if you have
enough RAM installed on rainbow.  After you increase your queue size,
we need to see if you are correctly processing all of the CONDUIT data.

Cheers,

Tom
