with high transaction rates and high availability requirements.
|

Who can receive the SMF?

What network infrastructure does SIX Exfeed provide?
| |
SIX Exfeed offers two redundancy-enabled 10/100/1000Mbps LAN ports on a dedicated LAN segment
per customer, firewalled against SIX Exfeed's internal networks.
|
|
How to connect to this LAN?
| |
The customer may freely choose how to connect to this private LAN segment.
SIX Exfeed recommends two private WAN links provided by two different carriers.
COLT Telecom Group Ltd, Swisscom Fixnet AG and Verizon Business have
inhouse POPs at SIX Exfeed's premises.
|
|
Does SIX Exfeed allow other network providers?
| |
Connectivity may also be established through a wholesale service offered by a provider
of the customer's choice (e.g. BT Radianz, SAVVIS Inc.
or one of the companies listed above).
Where required, SIX Exfeed provides collocation space for the customer
or its service provider to host its WAN equipment.
|
|
Are SIX Exfeed's Market Feeds available via the Internet?
| |
SIX Exfeed does not currently provide VPN facilities or Internet-based access
to its market data feed systems.
|
|
What are SIX Exfeed's recommendations regarding network performance?
| |
A bandwidth of 2Mbps or above is recommended.
|
|
Does SIX Exfeed allow multiple connections?
| |
Each customer is assigned one or more "feed IDs" and one TCP port per feed ID.
Only one connection may be established to a single feed ID (or TCP port),
but multiple feed IDs may be accessed simultaneously.
A customer may choose to run multiple network links, in which case it is assigned
a corresponding number of feed IDs and IP address ranges.
|
|
Does the SMF provide the "accumulated volume" of equities' closing auctions?
| |
Such volume readings are not available as separate figures.
However, they can be deduced by adding up all trade messages generated after
5.30 pm CET that contain <05>L;O#volume##timestamp.
This provides the accumulated volume for the closing auction.
