[AusNOG] Networks in High Freq. Trading

[Tim Jones]

Interesting video Joe.

The Vocus fibre under Sydney Harbour was rolled out to the ASX Gore Hill Primary DC shortening the path from the city by 400 metres:

And for participants in the ASX Gore Hill DC:

"the ASX will commission a 60 metre fibre path to customer equipment that is only two metres from its core systems, to ensure that customer gains no better speeds than customers in far corners of the room."

Hi list,

  Just watched this piece:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RFLIj4a2kw#t=29

  It's 60 minutes, so a bit sensationalised, but it discusses the role of fibre optic networks in stock exchanges and namely High Frequency trading, and some interesting solutions to the problem. Found it quite interesting so thought I'd share!

Thanks
