Engineers at Sydney-based Metamako LP and Exablaze Pty. Ltd., and Chicago-based xCelor LLC are rolling out switches that take around four nanoseconds—four billionths of a second—for messages to transit from one side to the other, sending data from exchanges to electronic traders.
[...]
Metamako’s devices logged a consistent speed of four nanoseconds regardless [OZ: L1] of traffic volume [...] Metamako and xCelor said they complete the entire messaging job, including the more complicated task of shooting orders back to the exchange, in around 85 nanoseconds [OZ: L2-L3]. The equivalent time for Cisco’s fastest switch is at least 240 nanoseconds, according to the company’s website.
[...]
Metamako sells about 100 ultralow-latency switches monthly [...] At around $20,000
