Service Providers

Reliable low latency performance is the key to success for service providers inter-connecting financial traders, broker-dealers, and market centres. Implementing best-in-class latency management within the network helps service providers ensure that their systems perform at the timescales that matter for trading applications. It also creates the opportunity to offer performance transparency to trading clients, thereby enhancing the value of connectivity services and strengthening their high-performance credentials.

Deploying the CorvilNet latency management system within your network POPs provides full performance visibility across your network for every packet of client traffic you carry. CorvilNet also tracks short-timescale traffic loads at network entry and exit points, revealing the latency impact of client traffic and helping to ensure their connections are appropriately sized for their performance requirements. By deploying managed CorvilNet appliances in the market centres and trading sites that you inter-connect, you can also provide full end-to-end performance visibility for both market data and order/execution traffic, direct to your clients.

Key Benefits

• Provide low latency service level compliance for every packet at the granular timescales that trading clients demand. Retain a complete historical record of achieved service levels and be alerted whenever targets are violated.
• Diagnose issues caused by internal network performance or client connectivity problems.
• Locate, analyze and resolve latency problems more quickly and more reliably using CorvilNet's advanced event trouble-shooting features.
• Control your equipment costs by targeting upgrades and distributing loads more effectively based on granular latency and utilization metrics.
• Obtain results immediately. Because CorvilNet can track latency and loss for IP packets, it provides immediate packet-level performance results regardless of which messaging protocols or data formats your clients' systems use. Message-level performance results can also be obtained upon integration with specific protocols.
• Help clients quantify their connectivity requirements, and ensure they have sufficient bandwidth to handle offered traffic loads while maintaining low latency performance.
• Provide fully transparent real-time latency monitoring end-to-end across multiple trading venues, direct to your clients.

Key Functionality

• Monitor one-way microsecond latency for market data traffic across the network.
• Track microsecond latency for order and execution traffic in each direction between traders and market centres.
• Monitor short-timescale traffic and microburst utilization levels for internal links and client connections.
• Measure the transactional latency experienced by order traffic, from either your trading client's connection point or across the market centre. CorvilNet's latency measurement capabilities can be integrated with specific exchange trading protocols to provide end-to-end visibility.
• Monitor performance, utilization and latency end-to-end between market centres and trading clients using CorvilNet appliances deployed in your clients' sites. CorvilNet provides your clients with real-time or historical GUI and API access to all measured data.
• Size client links based on programmed service level targets. CorvilNet directly computes how much bandwidth your client's traffic needs to meet stated latency objectives.
