[Quickfix-developers] Router Messages to Fix Gateway/Engine

[Naveed A. <na...@nc...>]

Hello there,

I want to know that what is the mechanism that your FIX Router connects
/sends messages to any FIX Engine/Gateway,

i.e. when a client tries to send a message of logon through  the router,
it send Logon to it.=20
Does the router forwards this message as it is to desired location?
What if the router has already established the connection to that
destination due to some other client

Does the router seems similar to any ordinary FIX initiator to the
acceptor or else?
If else then what a router is assumed to be for any FIX Acceptor?


If it is any ordinary Fix Initiator then I have learned that for each
initiator session, logon is sent once and at the start of the session,
how can two logon messages (from different client to router) can be sent
from an initiator to the acceptor within the same session?


I may be some what mixing things but hope to get the answer from you.

Thanks and with regards
