Interesting ... it may not just be Germany, I see @cunparis (who is an occasional member here) is complaining on his blog ( Trade With The Flow) about ZF disconnections in Paris.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Could you perhaps do a tracert to Zenfire/Rithmic Servers (eg: ritpz02516.rithmic.com or ritpz02506.rithmic.com) and check if you get routed over 80.156.161.46 or 80.157.128.230? Perhaps your connection takes a different route.
Today the outages started at 13:55 CET and have now 14 such events (till 14:40).
I don't understand these technical things very well, could you please tell me more about it?
What is VPS? What tracert? How can I investigate? Is this now rather a ZF or a DT problem?
Thank you!
One week ago I didnīt know anything about these technical things as well. I read a lot the last couple of days but I am no expert.
I am sure this is a DTAG problem.
You can run a tracert/ trace route to the Zen-Fire/Rithmic Servers (eg: ritpz02516.rithmic.com) and measure the ping/latency and packet losses.
I use the freeware program PingPlotter to do this.
There is always one server of Deutsche Telekom that has high packet loss. (at Hop5 to 80.156.161.46 or 80.157.128.230.)
VPS is a virtual private server. sam028 offers these. They are located near the exchange in chicago and you install your trading platform on this server and not on your local machine.
I am thinking about using one soon.
When I check my TCP connections, I currently get a latency of around 140 ms to this IP.
The second one is to ritpz02506.rithmic.com:
This IP actually does not show up in my TCP connections.
As you can see, they are both routed over 80.157.128.230, but I still haven't any data feed issues here although they both get a time out at last. So IMO there has to be another reason for the outages...
