With market data traffic setting new record peak volumes last Friday, Oct. 7 (6.65 million messages per second), the markets remain highly volatile, though speakers on a panel moderated by Wells expressed optimism that technology is advancing fast enough to handle the increases, but added that standards around measurement are needed to support capacity planning decisions.
