It’s actually pretty easy to monitor the throughout with the right tools. The network capture appliance I use can measure microbursts at 1ms time intervals. With low latency/cut through switches there are limited buffers by design. You are certain to drop packets if you are trying to subscribe to a feed that can burst to 17Gbps on a 10Gbps port. Market data typically comes from the same RP per exchange in most cases. Some exchanges split them by product type. Typically there’s one or two ingress points (two for redundancy) into your network at a cross connect in a data center.
