I don't think timing for trading systems is delivered across the general internet. I would expect these to be custom designed. But then again I am open to be proved wrong.

See, e.g., | |http://www.usfst.com/currentissue/article.asp?art=275136&issue=281 | |"a millisecond advantage in trading applications can be worth $100 |million a year to a major brokerage firm." | |Much of their use of multicast is driven by such considerations. | | Whether they have thought this through or not |is another question. Is there any bound to the amount of delay that they can exploit? It would seem that given a 1 ms offset, someone will work hard to exploit that. This simply becomes an arms race down to a femto-second.
