London Interxion Data Centers
Hi Folks, My understanding is that there are three London Interxion data centers (I thought Equinix was the Borg and had assimilated pretty everything at this point). Trying to get the address where the facility where the London Metal Exchange houses its trading engine. No, financial institutions don't like to give this info to transport providers. The trading engine is the heart of electronic trading - it matches buy and sell offers. Regards, Roderick.

That was certainly true in 2003, at least: https://zynap.com/savvis-gains-ground-in-u-k-managed-hosting-services-market... and this list seems to corroborate that: https://trends.builtwith.com/websitelist/Savvis/United-Kingdom/London Though, it looks like LME has strict limits on which networks they will allow to connect into it: https://www.lme.com/Trading/Access-the-market/ISVs-and-connectivity-provider... and it looks like at the moment, Colt is the favoured provider for LMEnet: https://www.lme.com/Trading/Systems/LMEnet#tabIndex=0 Best of luck getting a toe in the door! ^_^;; Matt

Maybe it's still true today. tax.select.prd.lmexgw.com. *A* 213.86.73.66 inetnum: 213.86.73.0 - 213.86.73.255 netname: NET-GB-LME descr: LME Savvis DC country: GB admin-c: KM8442-RIPE tech-c: KM8442-RIPE status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: COLT-UK -- Töma
I am pretty sure it is a campus environment. In most cases you bring the long haul to one of three buildings and then run a campus cross connect to your trading server which is in the same building and hopefully very close to the trading engine server (these folks are fighting to reduce latency by nanoseconds). So evading Colt I believe quite feasible. 🙂 -R. ________________________________ From: Matthew Petach <mpetach@netflight.com> Sent: Friday, February 26, 2021 8:05 PM To: Töma Gavrichenkov <ximaera@gmail.com> Cc: Rod Beck <rod.beck@unitedcablecompany.com>; NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: London Interxion Data Centers On Fri, Feb 26, 2021 at 4:56 AM Töma Gavrichenkov <ximaera@gmail.com<mailto:ximaera@gmail.com>> wrote: Peace On Fri, Feb 26, 2021, 3:06 PM Rod Beck <rod.beck@unitedcablecompany.com<mailto:rod.beck@unitedcablecompany.com>> wrote: My understanding is that there are three London Interxion data centers (I thought Equinix was the Borg and had assimilated pretty everything at this point).
