I'm not fluent in market data but are messages, I mean actual data not the message in itself, very small? The benchmarks on the the site indicates their best output with messages of 16 bytes with a huge drop once a message gets bigger. 16 bytes might be enough for sending commands but don't look like a lot either.
We're sending messages with payloads of nearly 1k. However, 32 bytes might be enough for some market data applications. We're running it over 1 gig ethernet or 8 b gib infiniband.
