CME didn't anticipate volume increases in their network?? Scary stuff. Reminds me off QCharts network management skills.

RE: IMPORTANT - Ticker Message Slowdown on the Quote Vendor Network for 2/27/02
Based on another major news release this morning, CME is again experiencing a slowdown in transmitting GLOBEX®2 messages. The announcement that affected the trading volume was at 9:00 a.m. Chicago Time.
We will be notifying you shortly of the change we plan to put in place to alleviate this problem.
Thank you.

RE: IMPORTANT - Today's Slowdown of CME Quote Vendor Network
Today, the existing CME Quote Vendor Network experienced a slowdown in transmitting messages, between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., Chicago Time. The cause has been determined to be an increased amount of GLOBEX market data that could not be sufficiently accommodated on the existing network during that time frame. As you are aware, this is the primary reason for our planned conversion to the new network
We are in the process of investigating ways to prevent this from recurring while we finalize our plans for implementing the new network. One solution being considered is to transmit one of the major GLOBEX®2 products along with the RTH products, down port one of the existing network, rather than port three. Of course, whatever GLOBEX product we choose, it would retain the Exchange ID of H, to indicate a GLOBEX. Please let us know immediately if you see this as a problem. In addition to this proposal, other interim options are being reviewed. As soon as a decision is made, we will notify you. Testing will then be scheduled, and the change will be moved into production as soon as possible to prevent any future slowdowns.
Thank you for your continued support. |
