Hi Patrick, I noticed that the latencies for your 3 current feeds are very similar.. I suspect that they are all on the same request line: request IDS|DDPLUS|UNIWISC|HDS ohio state...blah If I am correct in this assumption please re-do into seperate request lines: request IDS|DDPLUS ohio state...blah.etc request UNIWISC ohio state...blah Also, can you see if your IT group is doing some sort of packet shaping/sniffing on port 388...there is no reason for us (you) to have these large latencies, so let's figure it out ;) twister at ohio-state is not getting the data late, so it is occurring en route or at your institution: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?UNIWISC+twister.sbs.ohio-state.edu oppossed to: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?UNIWISC+weather.bgsu.edu Cheers, Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Weber address@hidden : Unidata Program Center PH:303-497-8676 : University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln : http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 : ---------------------------------------------------------------------
