This is probably true. However I don't think the DTN box passes ALL
of the received data it is capable of to the GS. So it should also be
true that the new DTN box CAN overwhelm the server, but may NOT if our
symbols don't exceed the current bandwidth that the GS can process
through the high speed port without the buffer overflowing.
About a year or more ago there was quite a discussion here of the
capabilities of the high speed port and the need for a healthy size
buffer to assure less tick loss. If the same communications port
wizards are around I think they could figure out the bandwidth of the
Turbo port and then tell you how much options and stock trade volume
that could be accommodated by the current serial port. If your needs
don't exceed it then you will be ok.
This will all be academic soon as I have just given the go ahead to
send me the new DTN box. We shall see.
If it does have a problem sounds like the Dynastore people have a new
opportunity. Since they already have the ability to emulate the
Esignal internet data feed which I get into my other setup via an
ethernet port(not using Dynostore) it would certainly be in DTN's best
interest to give them DTN output specs so they could convert it to
communicate with the server via TCP/IP ethernet as does Esignal
already. Are you listening Ron?
