Greetings :)
I am noticing a dramatic increase in RTMA product latency of late. It
has happened somewhat off and on over the years, but lately seems to be
getting worse. I have two dishes running in two separate geographic
locations both showing delayed product receipt... please notice this
chart:

On the left is my dish in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, and on the right Eden
Prarie Minnesota... Both dishes serve their own racks of servers, while
also serving as backups to each other... each are showing similar RTMA
receipt latencies
What made me look this morning is I received a product alert on
Saturday, and the same issue was shown.. please notice:

Where 5 rtma products were received in the same hour... In looking at my
notes, I see that I brought this same issue up in March of this year,
but what concerns me is that RTMA is a very small product, so why the
uplink issues? :o|
Especially since the ncep ftp server shows zero lag for rtma products?
ftp://ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/rtma/prod/rtma2p5.20161010/
Hopefully the problem is something simple, so this old man can sleep
peacefully at night! :o)
cheers,
