STAC has benchmarked Cisco Systems‘ Infiniband with the Cisco Datagram Acceleration Layer (DAL), using Wombat Financial Software’s OPRA feed handler and 29West’s Latency Busters middleware. In the benchmark, Cisco’s Infiniband reduced mean latency by about 80 percent (to 50 microseconds) compared to UDP/Gigabit Ethernet. It also reduced the standard deviation by about 75 percent. Thus, delivery of data through the Infiniband solution was not only faster but also more predictable.
