[AusNOG] Vocus Harbour Crossing

[Christopher Pilgrim]

Measuring the latency across the harbour is hardly relevant.

The lowest latency between the ASX at Gore Hill and major finance buildings
(say 2 Chifley Sq, Governor Phillip Tower, AMP Building for example) will
always be through the harbour tunnel, and you could even argue that the
lowest latency from the ASX to Global Switch is still via the bridge by the
time you take into account the network either side of the actual harbour
crossing.

There is some demand for low latency circuits between ASX Gore Hill and
Chi-X at Equinix SY1, but as Chi-X currently account for only  2-3% of
trading volume in Australia (at the moment anyway) I'm not sure how much
demand there will actually be.

That said, good work - can't wait to see the actual specs once it's
connected up.
