[LDM #ORN-677013]: missing NOTHER feed

Dave,

Either your network or your computer can't keep up with the data.

I logged onto edex.esci and executed the following:

    [awips@edex logs]$ fgrep '[12049]' ldmd.log | head

    [awips@edex logs]$ 

This shows that, starting about 19 minutes after connecting to 
idd.meteo.psu.edu, products started arriving too late. Their latency increased 
as time went on -- leading to no products being inserted into the 
product-queue. I suspect something similar is happening with edex-test.esci 
based on its latency plot 
<http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?NOTHER+edex-test.esci.millersville.edu>.

The log-file timestamps indicate that products are arriving at an approximate 
rate of one per second. This is during the "catch up" phase, when the last 
hour's worth of products are being transmitted. At that time, products should 
arrive much, much faster (10's or 100's of products per second).

Either your computer is trying to do too much (its 15 minute load-average is 
only 2, however) or the bandwidth capacity of your network is too low.

I suggest using awips-test.esci to just request the NOTHER data (don't even 
file the products: just receive them) and see if the problem persists. If it 
does, then the problem is your network.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
