LDA's revolutionary multicast distribution system for synchronization and ultra-low jitter market data transmission
Our cutting-edge multicast distribution system solves a problem that seemed unsolvable — synchronizing customer ports on exchange's devices. With it, market data transmission jitter is consistently equalized to 50 picoseconds between client ports, down by 98% compared to Layer 1 switches. Furthermore, cabling between switches and customers adds an additional five nanoseconds per meter. In an exchange's effort towards improved fairness, they often adjust cabling lengths, but with LDA's multicast distribution system, the root issue is now resolved, making transitional remedies unnecessary.
Our system allows exchanges to ensure increasingly fair and non-discriminatory access to market data. In addition, compared to a Layer 1 device, our unique multicast distribution system enables exchange clients to receive only the specific market data they've subscribed to, typically a Layer 3 networking function. This helps further reduce the latency and processing of market data.
Benefits:
- Ultra-low jitter market data distribution: LDA's solution consistently equalizes exchange-provided customer ports to within 50ps of each other, significantly improving jitter over using conventional Layer 1 switches and even more so with Layer 3 switches.
- Specific market data subscription: LDA's multicast distribution system allows clients to receive the particular market data relevant to them, thereby reducing the overall amount of data and processing required.
- Multi-device synchronization: The output can be synchronized within one device or across multiple devices in the same or different data centers.
- Regulatory compliance: Exchanges ensure that access to market data is fair for all participants and the market's integrity is upheld.
- Streamlined operations: With LDA's solution, clients no longer need to worry about discrepancies between different client ports and can instead focus on their operations
