ULTRA-LOW-LATENCY NETWORK ENGINEERING

Useful numbers, without the spreadsheet.

Practical tools for engineers working with latency-sensitive networks, market connectivity and electronic trading infrastructure.

TOOLS

Start with the traffic you actually have.

POLICER / MICROBURST

See what a burst does to a token bucket.

Model a full token bucket at burst start. Results are theoretical and use byte-based accounting; real hardware behaviour can vary by platform and accounting mode.

Traffic model

Enter sender, policer and burst parameters.

CORE RELATIONTc = Bc × 8 / CIR

A token bucket allows short traffic bursts above CIR. When the source rate is above CIR, the bucket drains at approximately source rate − CIR until the tokens are exhausted.

ABOUT ULLWIRE

Built for latency-sensitive network engineering.

ULLWire is an independent toolbox for engineers working around electronic trading, market connectivity, telecom routes and ultra-low-latency infrastructure. The goal is simple: useful calculations, clear assumptions and no unnecessary workflow.
