The data-product was created on host "rpga1-phmo.nexrad.noaa.gov" and was
delivered to the host on which rtstats(1) ran by host " idd.unidata.ucar.edu".
Think of the "_v_" as "via".

Seconds.

Seconds. Yup.
> Now this "Peak latency@min/sec past hour" throws me for a loop. Is this
latency "at" minutes "or" seconds? minutes "and" seconds? And this is a
measurement of the peak for "the past hour"? So, if an rtstats entry has an
Creation-time of 20130528161521 - that's a meager 15 minutes after the top
of the hour - is this peak for the part of the current hour? In this case,
the "peak" is for the past 15 minutes? Example:

In your example, the peak latency is 2 seconds at 3 minutes, 18 seconds
past the hour.
