Eurex
Eurex currently provides members with roundtrip time information for their transactions submitted via the MISS and / or ETS sessions. The information provided includes the ranking of a member’s MISS server(s) or ETS session(s) on the Communication Server / ETS Gateway.
In order to further increase the transparency of information concerning the individual components of roundtrip times for ETS sessions and in addition provide information with respect to message latencies of market data disseminated via the Enhanced Broadcast Solution, Eurex will enhance its suite of web-based monitoring tools from August 3, 2009 onwards.
Enhanced Transaction Solution: Publication of “Last-Mile” Network and Matching Engine Roundtrip Times
Eurex will provide network roundtrip statistics at a tcp-level from its measuring point located in close proximity to the Eurex gateways up to a member’s application server. Eurex will measure the time taken for network packets being sent to these machines to be acknowledged. Information concerning the ranking of a member’s ETS sessions will also be provided. In addition to these roundtrip times, Eurex will provide statistics
with respect to the processing times of the matching engines.
Enhanced Broadcast Solution: Publication of Message Latency for Market Data
Eurex will provide latency statistics for market data messages in one minute time intervals for both the “AStream” and “B-Stream” over the entire business day. The measurements will be taken from the feed distribution data centre up to the Access Point location. In the first phase Eurex will provide this information for each of its proximity locations from August 17, 2009 onwards. Information for the remaining Access Points will follow in the Q4/2009. Historical Information for up to five business days will be provided..
