Eurex
In order to provide members with the highest degree of flexibility in connecting to the Eurex® Trading System and in response to members’ requirements, the use of the IPsec encryption protocol for all Enhanced Transaction Solution and Enhanced Confirmation Solution leased line network connections will be made optional.
Besides a reduction in the overall roundtrip times, the removal of IPsec will also decrease hardware costs, minimize the complexity in establishing / maintaining connectivity and enable easier troubleshooting in the event of service disruption.
Completion of an application form in order to remove IPsec from existing leased line connections is not required. From August 16, 2010 until December 31, 2010 members can decommission the IPsec encryption protocol on their leased lines by performing the appropriate reconfiguration of their network routers.
Following the aforementioned decommissioning period, Eurex no longer plans to offer IPsec as an alternative for leased lines.
