Network Latency Testing

A mapped reference for network latency testing — how it runs, how to configure it, and where it runs aground under load.

Mechanics

The mechanics of network latency testing form one pipeline: raw market data in, computed signal out, decision routed to the order engine.

Waypoints (Configuration)

The network latency testing setup exposes a few documented knobs. Begin at defaults, then adjust against measured behaviour, keeping a written record.

Wreck Record (Failure Modes)

Recorded failures for network latency testing include regime changes, missed heartbeats, and positions that could not be exited cleanly.

Navigation Checks (Evaluation)

Evaluate network latency testing on measured outcomes — return distribution, drawdown depth, operational burden — never on one lucky stretch.
