The ARC Series E-Class Network Adapters

For Automated Financial Trading

The E-Class with DBL is financial trading’s lowest latency full function 10 GbE network adapter. in a Windows environment. Unique features for up to 4 sources per feed and extremely accurate timestamping accuracy of 1 microsecond, prepares trading systems for compliance with the rigorous reporting defined in the MiFID II regulations.

For Network Monitoring and Security

Enabled by Sniffer10G, the E-Class delivers pure packet capture functionality in a cost-effective package. By pure packet capture we mean it delivers on three critical requirements:

1. Zero packet loss
2. Extremely accurate timestamping
3. Essential packet capture functions, including time-based merge, filtering and load balancing, all with strictly limited server impact.

One Hardware Platform

The hardware platform is identical for both functional areas, with DBL and Sniffer10G delivering the unique application capabilities. The large FPGA on the E-Class enables continual enhancements as market demands evolve.

Enhanced Timing Features

• Timing synchronization: PPS and 10 MHz connections are available on the timing kit to enhance timestamp accuracy by linking to external oscillators or GPS devices
• Support for Arista Networks DANZ timestamping: Arista switches can optionally add timestamps to packet traffic flowing through the switch, using proprietary extensions to the IP standard that Sniffer10G and DBL software can decode. This allows applications to use the time packets entered a local network rather than the time they enter the network adapter.
