Re: [Quickfixj-users] One port for all clients

[Ajit G. <aji...@gm...>]

Thanks chris. It was a configuration problem.
But, mostly I see in FIX manuals, institutions follow one port per session.
Is this option available only with Quickfix/J?

Apart from heavy traffic on a single port, I cannot see any problem.
Does this approach of one port for all sessions have any disadvantages?

Also, I was curious to know how quickfix handles all sessions on one port.
I will appreciate it if you elaborate on the concept behind it.

Adding to the same approach, can we create a setting which can
differentiate identical sessions(Same sender ID, TargetID and port).
