In order to provide latency-sensitive applications with the fastest possible connection to the EurexÒ trading system and further reduce network latency for Enhanced Transaction Solution connections, Eurex will introduce a new enhanced infrastructure in both of its proximity data centers. The new infrastructure will encompass an optimal configuration of state-of-the-art network equipment, fibre optic network connections and additional gateways resulting in a reduction of the number of network hops and overall roundtrip times.
The provision of the new optimized infrastructure will be made available at no further cost.
The availability of the new infrastructure in the production environment is scheduled for May 11, 2009. Access to the simulation environment will continue to be provided via the existing infrastructure.
In addition to the infrastructure changes, Eurex will provide the following functional and technical enhancements to the Enhanced Transaction Solution interface:
The introduction of the “on behalf” feature in production is also scheduled for May 11, 2009 and will be available in the simulation environment from April 15, 2009 onwards. Specification of a second IP subnet address for session IDs will be possible from May 25, 2009 onwards.
Updated versions of the documents “Enhanced Transaction Solution - Interface Specification”, “Network Access to Exchange Applications” and “Front-End Access to Exchange Applications” reflecting the aforementioned changes will be available on the Eurex website from April 8, 2009 onwards.
