But on the other side of the country, on Wall Street, traders were exasperated by a 30-minute delay in the opening of the stock, which didn't begin trading till around 11:30 a.m. Eastern. Nasdaq officials told members in a notice at noon that its staff was "investigating an issue in delivering trade execution messages" from trades made in Facebook's IPO. Around 1 p.m., Nasdaq indicated it would provide a "manual report" to brokers with information on Facebook trades.
Once the stock opened, trading was robust. More than 200 million shares changed hands in the first hour, as investors rushed in to buy, and some who had received stock from the IPO cashed out. By day's end, 571 million shares traded hands.
The glitches that beset Nasdaq on Friday helped contribute to the lackluster price for Facebook shares, according to people familiar with the snafus. One of the biggest problems, these people said, was that buyers and sellers of Facebook shares weren't provided confirmation of their trades until 2 p.m. That's akin to people not knowing how much money is in their bank account, and therefore not knowing whether to go out and spend more money or save.
After filtering/capture, microsecond precise time-stamping, slicing, and bundling performed directly by the Module at the tap location, FlowBROKER losslessly transfers packets to the virtualized VCX Controller for remaining aspects of the brokering function (unbundling, file storage, aggregation, and duplication if being sent to more than one analyzer). This results in efficient, guaranteed packet delivery from tap to analyzer — every packet is accounted for.
FlowBROKER’s patent-pending method of efficiently transporting data across the network allows remote capture to be used continuously as a monitoring tool, instead of only for intermittent troubleshooting. It can also be used alongside bandwidth utilization metering, and active test and performance monitoring methods.

Roadmap:
Stateful: stops capture when desired data received (e.g. MAC learning).
Adaptive: capture additional header info for certain message types (e.g. TCP SYN/ACK)
FlowBROKER makes it possible to locate analyzers remotely without sacrificing data capture quality. VCX Controller automatically verifies bandwidth availability for packet transfer, authenticates session setup for secure capture, and prioritizes drop with loss accounting if the session is disrupted.
