1) We don't know that it's a hypergate at all - we just surmised that it might be. 2) As for my gates not 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.

If it is a hypergate then why should it bother to check at all if no avatar is within a certain distance of it? Once and hour or less seems more than reasonable.

            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 ...

                                    What kind of traffic is it? My
                                    Blamgates check their destinations
                                    once
                                    an hour - perhaps they are doing
                                    something similar, but at a greater
                                    frequency? Just a wild guess, though.



                                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.

                                I wondered if anyone recognized the
                                191 second interval as well as the IP
                                address.

                                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

                                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..

                            You think every 191 seconds is a lot? My

                            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).

                            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. :)

                            What might be nice is a simple way of
                            turning off just this one message.
