This may be unrelated to network performance and connectivity, and instead related to performance issue on the Sierra Chart side. Refer to:

That would be more possible, the issue in your case. There is no need to post anything further here because there is nothing further we can advise, other than the information given.

The Denali data feed is a high-performance low latency data feed and if you have a good Internet connection you should not be experiencing lag, exceeding 100 to 200 ms or so.

If you are noticing a significant problem you have to start looking at your connection including whether there is any throttling on the ports being used, somewhere in the network path.

This table here for test results on a Mikrotik router:
https://mikrotik.com/product/RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN#testresults

is a good demonstration of where larger packet sizes means more efficiency. Notice the third line (Routing  none (fast path)), with a packet size of 1518 bytes. The transfer speed is 1,481.6 megabits per second. But when the packet size goes down to 64 bytes it becomes 116.2 megabits per second. This is a huge difference.

So if you try to go too far to reduce latency, you create the opposite effect, and create an overload condition and therefore dramatically increasing your latency. Ultra low latency is not going to work for long-haul connections. It has to be a local area network connection.

You will also want to have a fast computer, and a fast network switch and router.
