By all means this is wonderful. It was really becoming a problem. Although to be fair, it is really OS independent as Solaris Intel, SCO, BSD..etc would have produced the same result. The real key lies in the x86 hardware. I am glad that NWS are recognizing that the reliability gap is now closed between x86 boxes and very expensive RISC/MIPS systems if you stick to high-quality, high end components. I lament everyday how slow our even fairly recent Sun systems are in comparison to our Solaris Intel Dell boxes. -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 9:02 AM As a followup to last week's switch over to Linux SBN uplink machines and latency issues for NOAAPort and NOAAPort dependent systems: Time on Queue Statistics - Units are in seconds, for NCF. ----------------------------- Channel Max Average ----------------------------- GOESEast Queue 102 40 GOESWest Queue 12 4 NWSTG Queue 45 1 DCP Queue 49 1 ----------------------------- These are the "fastest" times (lowest latency) that I have seen on NOAAPort. The massive improvement with a Linux solution should benefit us all . . . and kudos should go to NOAA for having the foresight to implement a technically and economically better SBN uplink facility. After last week's latency issues - rooted on the old HP-RT systems and upstream facilities from the NCF - this is a pleasant come-around. -- Stonie R. Cooper Planetary Data, Incorporated ph.
