FAST Feed Handler

The FIX Adapted for Streaming (FAST) protocol is an emerging standard defined by the FIX Protocol, Ltd. as a method of compressing messages to be exchanged over a network connection.

The FAST feed handler connects directly to market data feeds, receives FAST-encoded messages, decodes the data, and makes the decoded data available to the message handler plug-in.

The FAST feed handler supports version 1.1 of the FAST protocol and conforms to level 1 of the FAST Session Control Protocol (SCP) version 1.1.
