Latency Lab

Composable tools for automated networked application latency measurement.

External application throughput can be scientifically measured by matching outbound responses to inbound trigger events. Provided a standard packet capture, this latency lab provides templates to quickly create custom tools for accurate benchmarking, verification and system analysis.

Examples

Latency Report

The example data represents a series of outbound CME FIX orders triggered by CME SBE market data packets. The spike at the beginning is due to core warming.

Comparison Report

A comparison report allows for quickly comparing application response at multiple data speeds for stress testing. This example contains market data playback speeds of 1x, 2x, and 10x.

See examples directory for more use cases and build instructions.
