Hi Steve,
Since I'm actively working on adding extra RBs to the babar production I
definiately feel we need more RBs.
I also suspect that the UI-RB link might be quite sensitive to netwok
latency/losses. For me using a UI at RAL it's much quicker to submit to
the RAL RB than to either the GridKa or INFN ones which are the others
available. We also seem to be able to submit more jobs, faster without
seeing the problems James Werner reports submitting from Manchester. I
haven't fully investigated this but if it's the case then there may be a
case for each Tier 2 having an RB at one of their sites.
Yours,
Chris.
