Corvil AppAgent

Wire-app-wire latency measures the full end-to-end path: from a trigger event arriving on the wire, through the decision point within the application, to the response leaving on the wire. For example, measuring tick-to-order latency, from market data tick received to order transmitted. This requires combining Corvil network timestamps with AppAgent application timestamps.

Corvil AppAgent generates accurate timestamps with the absolute lowest application overhead. It can sustain up to 20M events/sec per host with a single publisher thread and buffers data to support higher bursts. The lightweight design means you can afford to deploy the same instrumentation in production as in development environments.

AppAgent supports C, C++, and Java with a simple, easy-to-use API. The SDK includes minimal dependencies and example code to accelerate integration into your trading applications.

AppAgent events integrate with Corvil wire timestamp events for a combined 360-degree network and application performance view. This eliminates traditional agent blind spots such as network stack latency, garbage collection, and process scheduling, providing true end-to-end visibility.

Yes. AppAgent generates UTC-synchronized reportable events from the point of decision within trading applications. The minimum disruption and overhead design means compliance data capture does not impact trading performance.

Corvil Sensor provides packet-level network visibility by capturing traffic at the virtual or physical network layer. AppAgent instruments application-level events from within your code. Together they provide wire-app-wire measurement: the full end-to-end latency path from network to application and back.
