Yes

The latency builds up to over any hour, the network breaks the connection,
the connection is reset by the remote machine.

  Is there something wrong with

I bet the connections are due to network congestion late in the afternoon.
The NE is noted for this problem.  A solution would be to filter the
amount of data requested by taft. Here's the filter that could be
installed at taft ldmd.conf:

request WMO "(^[A-OQ-X])|(^[YZ].[^AHIJRU])"  <hostname>

  Should I contact the sysadmin about this?

Sure, they are probably getting data they don't need.
