What about High Frequency Trading?Many networking vendors arepositioning Trident based systems forHFT. Arista is not. Why?• Trident based systems: ‣ have higher latency than Arista 7100 systems ‣ have higher jitter than Arista 7100 systems under varying packet sizes ‣ have higher latency and jitter as more functions are turned on (ACLs, Multicast, etc) Arista Embargo – Do Not Distribute Until 27 March 2011
