Using Ethernet for HFT communication
Ethernet is the most used protocol to link devices in a wired LAN or wide area network (WAN). This protocol sets the communication rules between devices.
Ethernet specifies how network devices structure and send data so that it may be recognized, received, and processed by other devices on the same LAN or company network. This protocol is highly reliable (resistant to noise), fast and secure, and was designed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 working group in 1983. The technology kept improving to get a better speed.
The different norms—802.3X and 802.11X—defined another type of support, such as 100BASE-T, which has been named Fast Ethernet that we are still using today.
Using IPv4 as a network layer
The IP protocol operates at the OSI model's network layer while TCP and UDP models operate at the internet layer. As a result, this protocol is in charge of recognizing hosts based on...
