Sorry, would have chimed in on this sooner since I'm the one who first brought 
it up.. but it's been a hectic morning so far.


Since I changed idd.aos.wisc.edu to be feeding from idd.unidata.ucar.edu and 
ncepldm4.woc.noaa.gov, we have been receiving the conduit data complete and in 
a timely fashion.


However, per the attached image, I do note large increases in latency from 
conduit data coming via the path ldm0.ncep.boulder_v_idd-uni (probably 
truncated) on that graph. These latency increases are periodic, and amazingly 
regular - looks like an EKG or something. Though there are no times on the X 
axis of that graph, the peaks of latency align with each 6 hourly GFS/GEMS 
model/data cycle.


Data coming through the paths ncep-ldm1.ncep.boulder_v_ncepldm, 
vm-lnx-conduit2.ncep.noaa.gov_v_idd.aos.wisc.edu and 
vm-lnx-conduit1.ncep.noaa.gov_v_idd.aos.wisc.edu seem to be fine - latencies 
100 sec or less.


I don't quite understand how those names (ncep-ldm[01].ncep.boulder and 
vm-lnx-conduit[12].ncep.noaal.gov relate to the two servers that I am 
requesting data from (idd.unidata.ucar.edu, and ncepldm4.woc.noaa.gov) but 
maybe that is a clue?


I have not tried feeding data from conduit.ncep.noaa.gov since Friday when I 
first noticed the latencies and lost data.

Keep providing the feedback. All of it is being given to the NOAA NOC admins. 
This seems to be a pretty wide spread issue with numerous circuits being 
impacted. As soon as I have more information about resolution I will pass it on.

Those traceroutes clearly show the issue is on the last 2 hops or inside NOAA.
