This section is intended as an introduction to the Network Architecture employed for Whisperer. MarketFactory has a presence within the three major financial Co-Locations (colos) LD4, NY2 and TY3, the diagram below gives a geographical representation alongside, baseline latency figures for packet transit time across the lines:
Points of presence in LD4, TY3 and NY4 shown below:
The Whisperer network architecture aims to be simple by providing a transition point to complete normalisation and any additional functions before messages proceed to the customer infrastructure.
The diagram below is a very simplified summary of the of the network architecture with further details on the specifics of the network topology available on further down the document.
The diagram begins at position (A) with a liquidity message from the venue to the customer via the MarketFactory Arista switch within the data centre at point (B), the message than transits through the venue FeedHandler and then to the API Server at position (C) to which the customer application is connected. The message then transits to the customer infrastructure at point (D) having been normalised by the API Server.
