An auction system including a server system (2) for sending current price messages (30) and for receiving bid messages (32), where the messages are transmitted using single IP packets, and in particular are transmitted using the User Data Protocol (UDP). This significantly improves latency associated with delivery of auction data. The system may be a Dutch auction system which sets a current price for a predetermined interval, and determines all bids received during the interval as being at that price. The current price is increased when the bids are not accepted. The system also has an interface which includes a clock device for displaying the current price based on received current price messages and displaying other data based on received bid reply messages.

L'invention concerne un système de vente aux enchères comprenant un système de serveur (2) permettant d'envoyer des messages de prix courant(30) et de recevoir des messages d'offre (32). Ces messages sont transmis au moyen de paquets IP uniques, notamment au moyen du protocole de données de l'utilisateur (UDP). Ce système permet d'améliorer sensiblement le temps d'attente associé à la transmission de données de vente aux enchères. Ce système peut être un système de vente au cadran qui établit un prix courant pendant une durée prédéterminée et détermine que toutes les offres reçues pendant ladite durée valent ledit prix. Lorsque les offres sont refusées, le prix courant augmente. Ce système est également pourvu d'une interface comportant un dispositif d'horloge permettant d'afficher le prix courant sur la base de messages reçus de réponse aux offres.
