Hi Tom,

Both.  The data we get through SSEC is produced by an SDI operated by
the Data Center.  We maintain two NOAAPORT receivers (of our own design
and construction), one in Boulder, and one at the ATM offices of NSF
in Virginia.  Both ingest the NOAAPORT channel one GINI imagery.  The
data from SSEC is injected into the IDD in a stream we call UNIWISC;
the NOAAPORT GINI imagery is injected in a stream we call NIMAGE.

I also occasionally access GOES-East/West data from SATEPS ADDE servers,
but this data is not distributed in our IDD.

You can get an independent reading of the volume of data flowing across
NOAAPORT by looking at real-time statistics from one of our NOAAPORT
ingest boxes.  I suggest the following:

Unidata HomePage
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu
  Data
  http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/data/index.html
    IDD
    http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/idd/index.html
      Current Operational Status
      http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/idd/iddgeneral.html
         Real Time Statistics
         http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/idd/rtstats/index.html

The links on the last page reflect:

Statistics by Host       - list of hosts participating in IDD

Statistics by Feedtype   - breakdown by feed type

IDD topology maps        - like it says

IDD feed trees           - textual lists of topology and color coded latency

For NIMAGE, I suggest clicking on 

Statistics by Feedtype
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/idd/rtstats/feedindex.php

Then click on:

NIMAGE
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/rtstats_sitebyfeed?NIMAGE

The NOAAPORT ingestor we operate here in Boulder that is injecting
data into the IDD is:

noaaport.unidata.ucar.edu [ 6.0.14 ]
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/idd/rtstats/siteindex.php?noaaport.unidata.ucar.edu

On the last page, click on either 'volume' to get a plot of the volume
of data received as a function of time, or 'products' to get a plot
of the numbers of products received as a function of time for the NIMAGE
feed type.

>Thanks

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom

Excellent!  I'll have to read this more closely and check out the links.
