It never ceases to amaze me how easily the attitudes of finance folk so easily leak out. It seems performing a worst-case O(log N) lookup and spitting out the resulting 100 bytes over UDP counts as harder than Twitter, parent comment clearly has no idea how much work Twitter needs to perform for every tweet (URL previews much?)

Meanwhile, could have simply said you work for NYSE.

I don’t work for a stock exchange, stocks are not particularly high volume nor particularly that important for the market as many other instruments and asset classes.

Your comment shows you clearly have no idea how modern QDM and ODM markets work if you think that sending 100 bytes over UDP is all there is or even what we do, we don’t even use UDP...

PP’s NDA probably doesn’t allow that.

No NDA just don’t see a particular reason to advertise it, it adds nothing to the argument.
