In order to provide latency-sensitive applications with the fastest possible connection to the Eurex® tradingsystem and to further reduce network latency for Enhanced Transaction Solution connections, Eurex will introduce new Enhanced Transaction Solution gateway hardware for proximity clients.
The new state-of-the-art hardware will be based in the Equinix data centre in Frankfurt and will significantly improve gateway processing times of Enhanced Transaction Solution transactions for proximity users thereby reducing overall latencies.
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 Monday June 20, 2011.
Whilst the change will be transparent to customers trading out of the Colt Proximity data center or out of
remote locations, customers trading out of the Equinix data center will have to connect their Enhanced Transaction Solution sessions to these new gateways.
The new gateways will reside in a new subnet with IP address range (90.18.253.0/24). Customers using the Enhanced Transaction Solution out of the Equinix data center are required to amend their routing tables accordingly by adding the new subnet (90.18.253.0/24).
For assignment of the new individual gateway IP addresses to Enhanced Transaction Solution sessions Eurex will make use of the feature “Automatic Notification of Session ID to gateway Assignments” announced with Eurex circular 053/10 and introduced with Eurex Release 13.0 in November 2010.
