Fascinating article!

More incredible is how my ignorance of "normal" ways of doing things (AVVID, SONA, Cisco Enterprise Architecture, multi-tier designs, etc...) gave me an advantage over folks who had been properly indoctrinated. My designs worked well for these applications, but looked crazy to the rest of the network staff (whose underperforming traditional designs I was replacing).

The trading floor is a weird place, with funny requirements. In this post I'm going to go over some of the things that make trading floor networking... Interesting.
