Over a few years, I've reached the conclusion that LDM on a gigabit
circuit is really pretty good. When some of the CONDUIT model data
streams, you might become a little backlogged, but it recovers quickly.
Generally, while I was at Texas A&M, we peaked at less than 20Mb/s,
regardless of how much data we were getting in... or how many folks
downstream we were feeding.
I'm sorry Gerry, you know I love you, but that information is dated.
Over NOAAPort alone, there are peaks of up to 50-60Mb, especially with
GOESr... CONDUIT of course would only add more to the equation. If one
were to engage in the delivery of weather related products, timeliness
is of course the first priority. Thus one must ensure that the
throughput of packets are unhindered through every leg of the
distribution. Backlogging in weather related data can cost lives,
something that can not be taken lightly
Add the occasional NOAAport retransmits that pop up every now and then,
and the feathers of calm can become somewhat ruffled
