Quote from madmunny:
i was not implying anything......if anyone does trade in an office on a broadband internet connection i would like to know how many traders it could handle without much delay
It's not really just a matter of how many traders, it's more "what the traders are doing." Our guys with FIX connections to Goldman, for example, might send 100,000 line items every few minutes, which takes up a lot of bandwidth (even though we shut off the responses). A room full of casual traders takes up much less obviously.
