Technological Advance
B3 will replace it current equipment with state-of-the-art models built specifically for electronic trading environments.
New Trading and Co-location Network
We will upgrade our trading and Co-location network
We will upgrade our trading and Co-location network
B3 provides a top-notch infrastructure to the market for connection with its trading platform and other market participants that use the exchange’s trading and co-location network.
We will further upgrade these services and our electronic trading environment will be among the most technologically advanced in the world.
To this end, a new network design will be implemented and state-of-the-art equipment specifically for this type of exchange environment will be set up.
The goal is to further reduce latency, that is, the time in which buy and sell orders are processed and executed, providing better performance, scalability and safety to our clients when executing their trades.

Product benefits
Greater perfomance
New equipment design will bring network latency gains of over 30%, greater safety and capacity.
Scalability
New environment will be highly scalable and will allow full monitoring of transactions.
Environment designed for electronic trading
The new environment will be leaner and more efficient, thus increasing communication determinism at all stages of electronic trading.
Technological upgrade
We will implement a new network design and state-of-the-art equipment specifically for electronic trading environments.
B3’s technological upgrade project for its electronic trading and co-location environment will provide the following:
- Physical segregation of the Market Data network from the Order Entry network.
- Increased observability coverage for Order Entry, now encompassing the entire flow of B3’s investors' messages.
- A reduction in total network latency of over 30%, in addition to increased determinism of the environment.
Before migrating to the new network, it will be ESSENTIAL to evaluate the items below:
- Current Infrastructure: Conduct a thorough assessment of the current network infrastructure, including racks, switches, servers, and other devices connected to the B3 trading link.
- Identification of Existing Ports: Map all ports of switches and servers currently connected to the access switches to the B3 negotiation network.
- Capacity Analysis: Evaluate the capacity of available switch, server, and gbics ports to ensure that there is enough space and transceivers for the new network.
- Port Reservation: Reserve the ports needed for migration, ensuring that they are not used for other purposes during the transition process.
The availability of ports should be made as shown in the example below:
|
Rack quantity
|
Number of trading links (current)
|
Number of ports that should be made available on the switch for testing on the new network
|
Final total ports (during the migration period)
|
|
1x 1/2 rack |
1 pair (2 ports) |
+ 2 pairs (4 ports) |
3 pairs (6 ports) |
|
4x 1/2 racks |
4 pairs (8 ports) |
+ 8 pairs (16 ports) |
12 pairs (24 ports) |
Important:
- Plan the transition in advance to avoid disruptions to trading services and ensure a smooth migration.
- Coordinate with your IT team to ensure that all technical requirements are met and the migration is performed correctly.
Please refer to the documentation available on the B3 website for more details on the new Co-location trading network and how the migration will be carried out.
• Installation of new fiber optic infra dry channels.
• Installation of 250 meters of fiber optics.
• Centralization of network switches.
