Hi Gregg, re: > Last evening SPC tried switch the NOVRA ingest from using the "em2" to > "em1" interface, but Gap errors continue. Is the pattern of Gap messages the same? I.e., are the great majority of Gap messages associated with port 1208 (multicast IP address 224.0.1.8) traffic? re: > Can you provide the output of the network interface on the OAR/GSL systems > and perhaps your system? The output from SBN1, em1 is: -- removed -- Here is the output from one of our Linux NOAAPort ingest systems. I will send the request for the same to our NOAA/GSL contact.
