What influences latency
Latency depends not only on the provider and exchange but also on the customer's infrastructure.
What influences latency between a client and an exchange/provider, and how can it be minimized?
Latency depends not only on the provider and exchange but also on the customer's infrastructure. For example, achieving latency below 100ms between London and Binance may require additional data centers or optimized configurations. The direct path from London to Binance is approximately 250ms. To achieve sub-100ms latency end-to-end, additional infrastructure and strategic server placement on the customer's side are essential. Additionally, some matching engines are inherently located more than 100ms away, which requires careful planning to address such challenges.
