well now there's 3 good points from karen, gilbert, and ryan...
if we are all 'right' .. and time is a factor, user dependent, then by
definition our queue sizes should have been changing over the years..
mine has, but i'm just kind of anal like that... what "protocol" should
we use to determine queue size?
somebody a long time ago, i have absolutely no idea threw up the idea of
an hour and it stuck with me... so on my noaaport relays, and I ingest
everything there is on those, by definition should contain a queue size
equivalent to roughly one hours of data at average or peak times.. now
what that was 10 years ago, is not what it is now, nor what it will be
next year :o :P
good discussion!!! woohoo!!
cheers,
