Symbol Mapping Message Fields (Options Only)
A Symbol Mapping message is used to map the 6 character multicast feed symbol field to an OSI symbol and Underlying. These messages are not sequenced (sequence = 0) and are sent continuously through the day at variable rates as bandwidth allows.
Members who consume the 5 Gig or 8 Gig-Shaped Multicast PITCH feeds will be able to receive the full list of symbols in approximately 5 minutes, and will allow for optimal distribution in situations where market data is susceptible to throttling as a result of high message burst rates.
