Thanks Jorg,

I have posted the same QA under General QA but would still need some info from you.

Can this still be used as a normaly TCP/IP connection with the vendor in the venue side?
What changes does this have with the FIX Engine and its sessions?

Throw some light on this.

P.S: You can answer for this in the General QA where i have posted the previous question.

Regards.
H.
