Terri,

In LDM Land, once you have a product you can determine its origination
point.  (Note that some products can originate from more than one
source, like products off of NOAAPORT which can be ingested into the IDD
at multiple points.)  But, if you don't have a product you'll just have
to ask about the source.

I don't know if your direct T1 would be faster than relaying a product
via I2 or not, but I'd be interested to know.   If the LDM is in place
at MIT, it's certainly easy enough to find out by modifying your request
line.
