Hi Dave, Tom here... re: > I switched edex.esci.millersville.edu to only request the NOTHER feed, and > not do any > processing. We are still falling behind. Our network people are still > looking into it, > but they have not done any packet shaping or rate limiting on the server. > > Why would this happen only to the NOTHER feed? The real-time stats that edex.esci is sending back indicate that you are having problems on all high volume feeds, not just NOTHER: CONDUIT: http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?CONDUIT+edex.esci.millersville.edu HDS: http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?HDS+edex.esci.millersville.edu GEM: http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?GEM+edex.esci.millersville.edu Low volume feeds are not showing the same sort of latencies: IDS|DDPLUS: http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?IDS|DDPLUS+edex.esci.millersville.edu UNIWISC: http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?UNIWISC+edex.esci.millersville.edu It has been our experience that when low volume feeds are received with acceptable latencies and high volume feeds are not, then there is some sort of artificial bandwidth limiting going on. If the total bandwidth volume was limited, all feeds should show increased latencies as their delivery will be competing with each other for that bandwidth.
