Re: [HN7000S] Traffic Shaping refer to locked thread 4 - 12
slaver, I did a WB run early last year and ended up with a mess they (WB) were not able to fix. Essentially the same traffic shaping problem we have at HN, without them shaping it, just simply overloaded on the spot I was assigned to. WB at the time used ka-Band in spots. Those spots are equally distributed over the map of North-America, unlike the population, which tends to aggregate in certain areas, called cities.
What had happened, was that the early adopters of WB sat at the perimeter of urbanization in the large population clusters and ended up filling those spots quickly, especially the CA bound spot 21. WB therefore had loaded their best spots with customers, weren't able to penetrate the population-wise void spaces (ie the prairie) and so got stuck while they were trying to bring up another bird. Kind of funny when you think that through. But reality is that they must have been badly hurting not being able to penetrate the market where the market was (ie Calif.) due to limitation through their spot technology while facing to pony up the interest on the debt for their lease and new bird.
So you may want to research which spot they have looking at you and what other dense areas are on the same spot. While Calif was bombed on WB, WY, SD, ND had no problem at all.
Spaceway III is using by the way the same spot technology concept for ka-band. Again, this is not a technical issue, but a reality of how the spots match population and the demand site. So it is more business than technical.
