Just to follow up - this does appear to have resolved the issue. Thanks again,
Mike!

Hi Pete,
Apologies, I was in a meeting as this all unfolded. We stopped sharing data
from the impacted systems to the IDD a few minutes ago, so things should be
getting better now.

Ah that makes sense.. Strange. I hadn't noticed any network issues here at
UW-AOS but that would certainly explain it.
Thanks for the info, Dan!

Mike and Pete,
The Unidata GRB feed is a combination of the raw Unidata feed and the
UW GRB feed. The combined feed fills in any holes due to RFI at
either site. So the path is:
Unidata -> UW -> combined data -> Unidata
UW is currently experiencing network issues sending data to the
outside world and this is causing the large dropouts.
I have notified Unidata and hopefully they can switch to their raw GRB
data until this issue is resolved.
