Amendment of the GTC to the Connection Agreement and GTC to the Provider Connection Agreement: Increase of limits for owned and/or used 10Gbit/s ETI connections

Eurex Circular 069/20

1.  Introduction

To allow its customers further growth but also to have enough network capacity to serve new customers, Eurex Exchange has decided to take the following actions:

a.  Introduce a sixth order entry switch (only B side) to increase capacity (exact timeline to be defined),

b.  Increase the limit for owned and/or used 10Gbit/s ETI connections from currently 32 to 36

These amendments will come into effect on 19 October 2020.

2.  Required action

None.

3.  Details of the initiative

Eurex Exchange decided to increase the network capacity and therefore increase the existing limit for 10Gbit/s ETI connections owned and/or used for Trading Participants and Service Providers to 36. In accordance with this, the limit for concurrent usage of respective ETI connections will also be increased to 36.

The existing limit of maximal four 10Gbit/s ETI connections per Access Point (order entry switch) as well as the limit of 32 10Gbit/s Market Data connections remain in place.

Furthermore, to have always sufficient capacity to serve new customers, Eurex Exchange plans to introduce a sixth order entry switch for ETI connections (only B side) in October 2020. The exact timeline for the introduction and for the ordering process will be published in due course.

Therefore, the following documents will be amended respectively:

  • "General Terms and Conditions to the Agreement on the technical connection and the utilization of the Exchange-EDP of Eurex Deutschland (Connection Agreement)" according to Attachment 1,
  • "General Terms and Conditions to the Agreement on the technical connection of a Multi-Member-System Provider to the Exchange-EDP Eurex® (Provider Connection Agreement)" according to Attachment 2.

The amendments, as set out in Attachments 1 and 2, will be effective as of 19 October 2020.

As of the effective date, the full version of the amended documents will be available for download on the Eurex website www.eurexchange.com under the following link:
