NexxCom Taps ENYX for Network Policing

The nxLink FBM solution provides NexxCom's electronic trader clients with bandwidth policing and network fairness while supporting low-latency connectivity. The nxLink appliance employs a traffic policing system to prevent user data from impacting other users or user performance on NexxCom multi-client solutions.

The nxLink FBM is an FPGA solution deploying a specialist appliance on each end of the wireless link. Delivered as a standard network product the nxLink FBM fits in an existing infrastructure and offers web and SNMP based tools to provide constant monitoring of the wireless link health.

"After extensive testing and evaluation over the past months, the solution has demonstrated itself to police bandwidth, ensure port to port fairness and also that inefficient port utilization has no impact on other users of the service," says S. Jay Lawrence, CEO at NexxCom.
