These tapped connections can then be used by market participants' network or trade latency tools to monitor financial trading. Co-location providers may sell such tapped connectivity to end users for their own monitoring, so this device offers them the opportunity to provide higher value services to their end clients. The additional latency by inserting the SingleStream inline is less than 5 nanoseconds.
