RE: [Quickfix-users] TCP/IP Connection drops

[Brendan B. B. <br...@ka...>]

The app I've developed has been traded from Florida & Las Vegas.  The
FLA trader experienced fairly frequent disconnects, the LV does not -
I suspect differences in connectivity from each site to the broker to
be the cause of the FLA disconnects.

In all cases if we let the system continue QF would reconnect and
sync up.

Cheers,
Brendan

  What is the general experience regarding TCP connections being
dropped from time to time, especially when connecting across the
Pacific to South Korea, for instance? In other words, if you using a
regular Internet connection to connect to a FIX counterparty, does the
FIX engine have to reconnect periodically due to a dropped connection?
If so, what is average time period between reconnects? Any feedback
would be greatly appreciated.
