L1 Market Data Only Connections - CFE
- Only CFE Multicast PITCH feeds FC and FD are available via L1 Market Data connections. TCP PITCH , Spin, and Gap Repsonse Multicast are only available via the L3 path.
- Customer L1 devices are split evenly between the FC feed and FD feed path. A customer connected to an FC side enabled device will not receive FD side market data, and vice versa.
- L1 network devices do not support BGP or PIM. Once the connection is patched by Cboe NOC, the customer will receive market data only for the path for which their connection lands.
- Consistent with the provisions of the current CFE Fee Schedule, any party connecting to CFE through a physical port for a particular function is required to have a redundant physical port for that function, which may be the same type or a different type of physical port that allows for that function.
- L1 connections are offered in 10Gbps bandwidth only, 1Gpbs is not available.
- Cboe will impose a limit of eight cross connects, per TPH, per L1 network device. TPHs may distribute the eight connections across both CFE or OOF.
- L1 10G cross connects will be assigned random port numbers on the L1 device(s).
- Even though L1 data only flows over the receive side of the fiber optic pair, both the transmit and receive fibers are required to be connected for monitoring and administrative purposes.
