The multicast packets from the Novra must be captured by an LDM ingester,
turned into LDM data-products, and the products inserted into an LDM queue
for subsequent distribution (in order to minimize product-loss, we recommend
that such an ingest system not process the products).

The LDM package has a NOAAPort ingester (noaaportIngester(1)) -- though the
build must be configured to install it.
