Hi fellow LDM users..
 
I wanted to send out an email to see if there is interest within the
community, to develop reciprocal LDM data peering group.  My company which
has a NOAAPORT Unidata based receive
system works very well and I have been fortunate to have a couple of
education institutions willing to provide backup feeds if I lose my primary
NOAAPORT receive system.  I growing number
of LDM users are commercial entities  that do not have peering arrangements
for backup feeds.  I will be moving our servers to a 1Gb bandwidth pipe
later this month and will be in a position
to provide LDM NOAAPORT feeds to users who need a backup feed. In turn,
would like to be in a position to feed from them if I have an outage.  
 
I think it would be a good idea for those members that do not have multiple
NOAAPORT IDD feeds sources to collectively cooperate to provide primary or
backup feeds to one another. 
Again, I will be in a position later this month with the unmetered 1Gb
bandwidth to help feed others.  
 
If anyone is interested in joining a cooperative reciprocal peering
arrangement let me know.  
 
Cordially,
 
Michael Dross
