In the world of High-Frequency Trading (HFT), milliseconds matter. Network engineers tasked with building HFT environments need to select switches that not only provide ultra-low latency but also support high-speed ports and critical Layer 3 features like QoS and VLAN tagging. This post will explore three of the best Arista switches tailored for HFT environments and discuss key IEEE protocols and RFCs essential for designing high-performance trading networks.

Key Requirements for HFT Switches:
