checking if no one is near it, well, that never occurred to me, to
be honest. Wouldn't that require an active scanner of some sort
that would chew up CPU, constantly looking for someone nearby? If
so, then a simple blind check, once an hour, would be less costly,
yes? If not, then perhaps it's something I should consider adding
to mine.<br class="">

As do my gates - hence 24 times a day. That's very
low. But if many people are using a copy of your
teleporter or my gate and have them configured to,
say, a popular grid, then they will of course, see
a lot more than 24 a day. Or maybe there's someone
out there who made a device that checks more often
than ours ...<br class="">

What kind of traffic is it? My Blamgates

Thanks Shauin, and yes from the port
numbers begin used I expect it is indeed
some scripts to check for things benign
alive or pinging hypergates, etc.<br class="">
<br class="">
I wondered if anyone recognized the 191
second interval as well as the IP address.<br class="">
<br class="">
Once an hour is not too bad.. and I see
four or five such IP addresses one of
which might be your blam gate for us..
e.g. 65.78.40.167<br class="">
<br class="">
But every 191 seconds means my Robust.exe
console is now full up with these debug
messages when I check things every so
often... yes I know I can turn that down
to INFO only being shown..<br class="">

I can't see who they're from, however. I'm
guessing that was added since December 5th,
which is the last time I updated my
production grid (or maybe I need to set
something, so the addresses show).<br class="">
<br class="">
Given that my grid has a region that's a
popular HG hub, and that many people have
taken copies of the gate I have out, that's
configured to bring them to my grid, I
imagine that some of what I'm seeing are
those gates checking to see that my grid is
up. However, I think the majority of it (in
addition to the ~80 gates to other grids) is
likely to be the "roller-coaster" I have set
up in that region ... I have 100 Blamgates,
laying horizontally, up in the sky. There is
a gate on the ground, that rezzes you just
above the first of them, and you fall into
it. Then it sends you to just above the next
one, and so on, until you get to the last
gate which puts you back where you started.
It's quite a wild ride that lasts for about
a minute. :) Anyway, all of them are of the
"check the destination" type of gate, so I
imagine I'm doing most of it to myself. :)
Oh, if you ever want to try the
roller-coaster, look for the gate labelled
"101", in Eld2. :)<br class="">
<br class="">
What might be nice is a simple way of
turning off just this one message.<br class="">
