NetDC
NetDC – Networked Data Center Protocol
NetDC is a data request system that allows a user to request seismological information from multiple data centers through a single email mechanism. Information is delivered to the user through email and/or FTP in a uniform binary or text format.

Users can make 3 different types of requests:
- Inventory – what data is available from any of the participating data centers
- Responses – detailed station and channel information in RESP format
- Waveform – waveform data
NOTE: Not all participating data centers can process all of the request types but all can process the waveform request type.
