Hi David and Yixin, Recap of phone conversations with David: 1) The root causes of the data ingest-related problems seen on both sirocco and pavan turned out to be the HP router that they were both connected to. As soon as sirocco's and pavan's network connections were moved to a different router, the repeated data REQUESTs to idd.unidata.ucar.edu and idd.ssec.wisc.edu disappeared, AND the data latencies being reported back to rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu dropped to zero. Success! 2) the Novra S300 was power cycled to see if data ingest on mistral could be improved. Data ingest on mistral _was_ improved, but it is uncertain if the improvement was realized after moving sirocco and pavan to a new router, or after power was cycled on the S300 (the timing is uncertain). 3) As per David and my phone conversation, I installed LDM-6.11.2 on both sirocco and mistral. mistral is now running the combined NOAAPort ingest processes contained in LDM-6.11.2 (i.e., noaaportIngester instead of dvbs_multicast and readnoaaport). NOAAPort ingestion and relay appears to be working well now. The proof can be seen in a comparison of datastream volumes between mistral and a non-LSU/SRCC ingest machine like jackie.unidata.ucar.edu. Example: NEXRAD3 ingest volume on mistral: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?NEXRAD3+mistral.srcc.lsu.edu NEXRAD3 ingest volume on jackie.unidata.ucar.edu: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?NEXRAD3+jackie.unidata.ucar.edu It appears that LDM-related things are now working correctly in SRCC!
