What is changing?
The UTPOC recently completed the March 2014 capacity analysis. Based on the results of this study and the ongoing efforts to improve the performance of the UTP SIP, the UTP SIP will increase the bandwidth allocations for the UTP Data Feeds. The new allocations are as follows:
Data Feed | Current Bandwidth Allocation | New Bandwidth Allocation | Approximate Throughput Message Rate |
---|---|---|---|
UQDF | 256.0 Megabits (Mb) | 392.0 Mb | 700,000 Messages Per Second (mps) |
UTDF | 101.0 Megabits (Mb) | 181.0 Mb | 390,000 mps |
OMDF | 9.2 Megabits (Mb) | No Change (9.2 Mb) | 16,000 mps |
Please note that the bandwidth allocation stated is for a single multicast group. For fault tolerance reasons, the standard UTP configuration consists of both a primary and a back-up multicast group.
New bandwidth allocations are based on an average message size, during peak, of 70 bytes for UQDF, 58 bytes for UTDF and 70 bytes for OMDF.
When will the new higher data rates be supported?
The UTP SIP plans to support the higher data rates beginning Q3 2014. Therefore, all firms should make the necessary network upgrades to accommodate the higher bandwidth allocation scheduled for implementation by Monday, June 30, 2014.
Where can I find information related to the quote and trade metrics?
The UTP SIP makes performance and bandwidth metrics available to the industry and on the web. Please visit the following sites for additional information:
