Nanosecond Trading Could Make Markets Go Haywire http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/02/high-speed-trading/"Below the 950-millisecond level, where computerized trading occurs so quickly that human traders can't even react, no fewer than 18,520 crashes and spikes occurred."
Anyone who has managed a network knows that when you look at your MRTG/Cacti graphs at 5min, 10min ,15min intervals - all looks well. Start looking at 1sec intervals and you will see spikes that hit 100% of capacity - even on networks running at 25% average utilization.
I guess trading and networking do have many unseen similarities. -Hank
