[Support #ZQO-437545]: request for IDD connection

Hi Mallory, 

We would prefer to keep feeding you from UCSD as we have some access to that 
machine, and you are both geographically and electronically close to that node.

We can begin ingesting the CONDUIT and NIMAGE into UCSD (I believe, we will 
need to check w/them on this, but suspect it will be OK). Are there specific 
items you desire in the CONDUIT and NIMAGE Feeds or do you think you will 
desire the full feed. Keep in mind that CONDUIT averages about 1.5 GB/hour and 
can reach 3 GB/hour.

Not sure how big your queue is, but it may come into play with this type of 
volume, something you may want to check into.

Great news that you can serve as a relay to other APCD's, we love that 
community spirit! As of now, we have not had additional requests, but suspect 
we will in the future.

I will attempt to get the CONDUIT and NIMAGE feeds to UCSD's machine and notify 
you when they are there.


Does this sound like it will workable plan for you?..Hope so.

Cheers,

Jeff Weber
