Derivatives UDP Overview

The Multicast UDP Market Data API includes multiple groups of data channels/streams for unique sets of related products and instruments. Each group is comprised of 3 pairs of channels:

• INCREMENTAL UPDATES - A/B UDP multicast groups with real-time updates for orders, trades, market state changes, and instrument definitions.
• SNAPSHOTS - A/B UDP multicast groups with periodic snapshots of orders and instrument definitions/statuses at a regular interval.
• RETRANSMIT SERVICE - UDP unicast with updates by InstrSeqNum range using request/response model.

info

A/B refers to two multicast groups (A and B) used to transmit redundant data in the case of failover.
