There are standard routes and there are low latency routes that serve mostl=
y traders. The latter charge a big premium. He said the lowest possible lat=
ency. That is a specialty market where the SLAs are in microseconds, not mi=
lliseconds. Many carriers have a division for ultra low latency. Hibernia A=
tlantic built express which is just used by financial traders. No one else =
can afford it. And since low latency is the name of the game, it means wave=
s or SDH or SONET. Not Ethernet switching.

Roderick.

AT&T's AVPN product (Layer 3 VPN/"MPLS") does any-any routing and constantl=
y changes L3 hops for the best pathing.
I've used the service at a few jobs and the product itself is quite good. D=
ealing with them for things like MACD's can be...frustrating.
We've never had a location they couldn't service either directly or via ano=
ther last mile carrier.

Subject: Managed global low latency network with any to any connectivity
Hello guys,
I am looking for a global network with:
- lowest possible latency
- lowest possible jitter (packet loss and latency variation)
- lowest possible monetary cost
The few providers I have talked to until now, they all provide a
point-to-point low latency link. However, what I am looking for is
any-to-any connectivity so I can get from one point to another in least
possible time and least possible cost.
Would appreciate if you guys can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
Arqam
