Thread: Updated real-time usage guidelines and enforcement of connection limits

Hello real time data users,

The DMC has updated the usage guidelines for real time data services:
http://ds.iris.edu/ds/nodes/dmc/services/seedlink/

The most important change:
Users should strive to minimize the number of connections to our server. With SeedLink it is possible to select a nearly arbitrary selection of channels using a single connection. The DMC reserves the right to enforce connection limits in order to ensure that the service is available to a broad range of users and to maintain a stable service.

regards,
IRIS DMC
