Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Hello, Though I've been running an LDM server for a few months both in downstream and upstream capacities, I'm still struggling with a lot of this. We're looking into the prospect of upgrading our server (right now it's just an old linux box sitting in my office) and even taking over some of the campus load, and I'm trying to understand the throughputs by looking at the iddstats pages, but I still don't have a definitive explanation of the "labels" on the graphs. A classic example is < http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?CONDUIT+augustine.net.images.alaska.edu > Could I trouble somebody to take my line by line through the 8 lines in the legend and explain the syntax to me (or point me to a document that explains this)? "If" I understand the syntax correctly, it implies that this server is receiving four "streams" (?) from ldm.aoos.org (and, I know for a fact that he is), and four identical (?) streams from bigbird.tamu.edu? Is this graph showing me "only" incoming packets (I believe someone told me this is the case). To get a feel for outgoing packets, would I simply find the iddstats pages of the downstream server and deduce it from the downstream servers "incoming" packets? For my own server, I'm looking at some EXP packets that I produce myself, which then get picked up by NWS, but I also receive some EXP packets (COSMIC stuff) from unidata: < http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?EXP+bear.arsc.alaska.edu > When I look at iddstats for EXP, I'm not sure what I'm looking at - the "label" on the graph doesn't suggest any unidata data source, so I'm wondering if I'm looking at the outgoing packets that I generate? I know these are stupid/basic questions, but I've been unable to find something that would explain this to me, and any help would be appreciated.
