20060117: Internet2, Level 2 radar/CONDUIT/NIMAGE data request!

Gilbert,

CONDUIT currently runs with a peak of approximately 2.4 GB per hour,
and a background average of about 1.2 GB per hour.

The NIMAGE data peaks at approximately 250 MB per hour during the
day when visible imagery is present.

You can request these feeds from idd.unidata.ucar.edu.

COD is requesting a subset of CONDUIT currently, so
that wouldn't be a suitable upstream for you, but perhaps in the future
they might be able to feed from you. U. Illinois  and U. Wisconsin are top 
level 
CONDUIT sites, so they may be appropriate upstreams for you eventually (or
Iowa Statejust as well), but for the present time, if you are going to be doing 
testing etc. with the feed, I'll suggest starting off pointing at us, and I'll 
let 
Jeff Weber handle the IDD topology issues with regard to your level II feed, 
and 
CONDUIT neighbors.

>Anyway, now that we have it, I would love to get the Level 2 radar, 
>CONDUIT, and NIMAGE feeds. I would like to know what the latter two feeds 
>entail in terms of bandwidth, because I only have 100 mb to my office,

>So, how do I put in a request? Thanks for the help, as always!
