Agreed. Independent verification is definitely needed. Although I think that this is why they've announced this at STAC which does this (https://stacresearch.com/about https://stacresearch.com/about). I've moved over to academia now, but I came from tan HFT prop-trading background. We would have jumped at the chance to get one of these in our hands, but this was 3 years ago now. Can I ask why you'd want BGP running in a private LAN? This seems like an odd thing to do, especially in Colo environments.

The handoff of the market data feed is over multicast but the connection at L3 to the exchange is BGP. Since everyone has the same latency from the feed, the goal is to take the feed in and fanout to host as fast as possible. So ideally one port on this switch is to the exchange and the others direct to servers or if you need more scale to another lay of low latency switches that the server farms connect to. For all the money spent on this it is really pretty simple from a networking point of view.
