L1 Market Data Only Connections - Options on Futures (OOF)
- Only CFE OOF Multicast PITCH feeds OFC and OFD are available via L1 Market Data connections. TCP PITCH, Spin, and Gap Response Multicast are only available via the L3 path.
- Customer L1 devices are split evenly between the OFC feed and OFD feed path. A customer connected to an OFC side enabled device will not receive OFD 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.
- 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.
