Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide real-time pre-trade risk assessments for multiple parties. In one embodiment, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD) may be embedded within an Automated Trading Systems (ATS) architecture by utilizing the Intel socket G or the PCIe interface to provide pre-trade risk functionality. The system may also provide a method for interacting with the ATS DRAM or L1 cache to provide faster access to orders in ATS memory for PLDs. The system may use the Quick Path Interconnect between an embedded processor and a PLD to transfer memory maps. The system may also add additional libraries to an ATS processor to accelerate the transfer or memory maps to a PLD. The system also may use system interrupts to cancel erroneous orders within an ATS processor from a PLD housed within the same physical architecture.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide real-time pre-trade risk assessments for multiple parties. In one embodiment, systems and methods can be configured to receive a market order data packet, wherein the market order data packet comprises order information for a market order to be made at a liquidity venue. The market order data packet comprises a header portion and a payload portion, and the header portion comprises at least a portion of the order information. An order symbol is determined based on order symbol information in the header portion. Risk parameters are retrieved associated with the order symbol. It is determined whether or not a risk threshold is exceeded based on the risk parameters and the order information. A final market order data packet is generated for transmission to the liquidity venue based on the determining whether the risk threshold is exceeded.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for secure data communication between two devices. A disclosed system responds to a request from an originating communication device in a first network to connect with a communication device in a second network, for communication, by receiving a request from the communication device in the first network, the request including payload data and a destination network address in the second network. The system then transmits the received payload data to the destination address in the second network after analyzing the payload data for network intrusion. When the analysis does not indicate network intrusion, the system determines a route to the destination network address by looking up the destination address in a routing table and forwarding the payload data to the destination network address in the second network. If the analysis indicates network intrusion, the system discards the payload data.

Abstract: A new type of Provider Edge (PE) device is used to support BGP-based IP-VPNs. Each VRF instance in a PE device is associated with a dedicated IP address (Service IP address). Each service IP address is dedicated to a VRF in a PE device. The service IP address is distributed by BGP for VPN route association. Customer/VRF IP packets can be sent to a VRF instance in the egress PE device using service IP header encapsulation (with IP Destination Address=Service IP address of egress PE's VRF & IP Source Address=Service IP address of ingress PE's VRF). This obviates the need for explicit tunnels in the core.
