Hi Gilbert,
We plan to upgrade the ingest software to incorporate these products
under the NEXRAD (aka NNEXRAD) feed by the time they are available via
NOAAPORT.
How the IDD handles this significant increase in volume will depend to a
large extent on how much data sites request. We tried to structure the
NEXRAD topology (which is, as you know, separate from the "FOS"
topology) so that if a site requested more data than their connection
could handle it would only affect their own data reception.
In practice, however, it's difficult to really separate things out this
way since clients and servers must cooperate (i.e., a server may get
stuck trying to feed a slow client), and all network traffic has to get
stuffed into a finite set of pipes. But, so far this approach has
worked well - sites seem to be requesting a manageable number of NEXRAD
products and we've had no problems with NEXRAD products contributing to
unacceptable latencies.
We'll probably need to ask the community to exercise similar restraint
with the new products.
Anne
