This example illustrates the use of several
different routing functions. In this example, the Gateway will accept three bisync data
feeds from a stock exchange and perform the following:
Routing
Processing
Data Multiplexing
The three data feeds are combined
into a single TCP/IP address. Without this routing function, each data feed would be
mapped to a unique TCP/IP session.
Broadcast
The data is duplicated on a separate
multicast UDP address for transmission to a back up server. The three bisync feeds are
consolidated into a single UDP session.
Fall Back
A second
server is available if the primary server connection fails.
This server is a "hot spare" that will only be used in
the event of a problem with the connection to the primary server.
