co-location-provider-selection-and-network-topology SKILL.md skillA
co-location-provider-selection-and-network-topology from himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/co-location-provider-selection-and-network-topology@v2.0.0Pins v2.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when deciding where to place a latency-sensitive server across co-location facilities and cross-venue links, decomposing one-way and round-trip budgets from propagation physics and published equipment specifications.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## When to Use Use this skill when deciding **where to put the box** for latency-sensitive or cross-venue arbitrage strategies. Placing an equities-futures arbitrage engine in Equinix NY4 (Secaucus) instead of CME's Aurora IL data centre adds thousands of microseconds of propagation delay that no amount of code optimisation recovers. The evaluator turns a candidate list into a defensible comparison: it decomposes each path into propagation, switching and cross-connect delay, computes monthly total cost of ownership (TCO), and produces a ranked, weighted latency-versus-cost score. ## When NOT to Use - **As a substitute for a measured latency figure.** This is a *procurement-stage* model. It computes what physics and published equipment specs permit; it does not model queueing delay, congestion, microburst buffering, serialisation delay, kernel/NIC overhead, or the carrier's actual (usually undisclosed) route. Once a circuit is live, measure it — see `tick-to-trade-latency-measurement` and `colocation-latency-budget-accounting`. …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/co-location-provider-selection-and-network-topology@sha256:c0bd9dceef225f77The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
