Fair Multicast System
LDA’s revolutionary fair 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 exchanges’ 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 enables exchanges to ensure increasingly fair and non-discriminatory access to market data at both 10G and 25G speeds. 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 specific market data relevant to them, thereby reducing the overall amount of data and processing required.
Multi-Device Synchronization
Synchronization of the output can be within one device or across multiple devices in the same or different datacenters.
The System Supports 10G and 25G
Enabling you to future-proof as exchanges contemplate 25G.
Regulatory Compliance
Exchanges ensure that access to market data is fair for all participants and the market’s integrity is upheld.
Streamlines Operations
With LDA’s solution, clients no longer need to worry about discrepancies between different client ports and can instead focus on their operations.
Next time you're talking with an Exchange, ask if they're familiar with LDA's Fair Multicast System.
