Is it normal? There should be some persistance. The upstream LDM process and the downstream LDM process should hang around for as long as the connection is good. I note from the LDM logfile on shemp.unidata.ucar.edu that a lot of connection attempts are refused: ldmd.log.1:Jun 18 20:31:44 shemp.unidata.ucar.edu ldm[3703]: Couldn't connect to upstream LDM on ldm.meteo.ec.gc.ca: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused Does your machine have a log entry for this (UTC) time? > Some clients seem to have more than one connection (CMC offers only GEM > Data, not any other type of fee). For example, 128.118.28.12 has 3 > CLOSE_WAIT, 1 ESTABLISHED and 1 TIME_WAIT entries. Is it normal? I'm not sure about the TIME_WAIT, but if a downstream LDM hasn't received anything from the upstream LDM in one minute, then it will try to connect to the top-level, upstream LDM to ask it if the sending LDM has died. This might be the cause of the CLOSE_WAIT connection. This might also be the cause of the refused connections described above. > Thanks in advance > > Daniel Lemay > > =============================================== > email: address@hidden > phone: (514) 421-7274 > =============================================== > Services d'acquisition et de distribution des données > Centre Météorologique Canadien - Environnement Canada > =============================================== > Data Acquisition and Distribution Services (DADS) > Canadian Meteorological Center - Environment Canada > =============================================== Regards, Steve Emmerson
