Is there a thread or expert on best known method 2019 Network fail over strategy for NT7 ?? - I've been running a load balancing router for a few years ATT and Comcast. The failure is far from perfect. I'm abandoning ATT for ideally LTE so it's a good time to rethink my solution CQG fail over is one of the big problems. I've been networking since dark ages 30 yrs ago, so wont cry easy, Thanks
LTE and a classical Internet link, a 4G router (or not) and a Raspberry Pi using this https://github.com/ovh/overthebox should work fine.
I don't want to advertise for my services but clearly with Ninja running on a VPS you won't have CQG disconnections troubles.

Thanks Sam - I have a couple Pi. Each of my network providers ( router ) public address has a different IP.. TCP can't just just jump to a new IP.. I'll look much closer. NO connection drop eliminates this problem and redundant - redundant is really annoying and not all that reliable
A VPS in Chicago is the right thing to do 110% if automated. I've seen your services since 2014 - You have big reputation points IMHO. Retired Backtester always stuck in my head. . I can Shameless plug.. Even though I'm not a customer, If anyone asks again I'd send them to futures.io to find the Chicago VPS hosting guy. I've said it before - the latency info to come tells why. People are always wanting to act like HFT.
I'm very discretionary on CL and a fast screen is a big advantage in MY EDGE. Huge portions of my trading have moved back to Swim.. OPTIONS on FUTURES totally changes the game.. You can sleep with large positions on. Speculation with options is trading in 3D.. Native futures are 1 Dimensional Up / Dn. -- SLOW DOWN. Think. Vertical spreads = defined risk.

Someone else will read this some day.
My REAL data that tells the story of VPS potential .
Here in California at a major city, Per Gomi's Time histogram: Market data to my screen is never faster than 80 ms. There is no way I could expect a transaction in a Fast market to be 1 second. My last 3 days data SUN 3/3/19-3/6 is not 80% (~ 1.2 sigma ) contained in 200 ms. I'm usually closer to 95% ( 2 sigma) 150 ms and a big tall sweet spot 120 ms +/- 5 ..
IMHO estimate - A futures platform in Chicago could divide those numbers by 10.
A completed BUY / Sell in 100 ms and you could fight with the BIG guys moving the market in the LIMIT BOOK
OR you could just be smarter. They leave elephant tracks.
- I am not affiliated or paid by anyone. Unemployed ..
Then Overbox using your ISP's, connected to a VPN endpoint in Chicago (I can provide that for testing purposes if needed). In this case the TCP connections won't be disturbed by the fail over from one ISP to another.
Not very simple and not very good on a latency point of view but I don't see any magical option in your case.
