1. Introduction
To provide existing participants with further growth opportunities and to ensure additional network capacity to serve new participants in the future, Eurex Exchange has decided to take the following actions:
- Introduction of a sixth 10Gbit/s market data switch (only B side) to increase capacity,
- Introduction of a sixth 10Gbit/s order entry switch (only B side) initially announced in Eurex Circular 069/20.
The new switches will be available from 29 March 2021 onwards.
2. Required action
Trading Participants who wish to use the new connections from the start date 29 March 2021 should place their orders by 12 February 2021 at the latest.
3. Details of the initiative
A. Connection limits
The overall connection limits, as defined in the current GTC to the Connection Agreement and GTC to the Provider Connection Agreement with a maximum of 36 10Gbit/s order entry and 32 10Gbit/s market data connections per Trading Participant, will remain unchanged.
As an additional temporary restriction during the pre-launch phase before 29 March 2021, ordering of maximum two connections for the sixth market data switch will be possible.
