Symbol Ranges, Units, and Sequence Numbers

Products will be separated by Underlying into units and product distribution will not change intra-day. Cboe does, however, reserve the right to add multicast addresses or change the product distribution with 48 hours prior notice to customers. Care should be taken to ensure that address changes, address additions, and product distribution changes can be supported easily.

Message sequence numbers are incremented by one for every sequenced message within a particular symbol unit. It is important to understand that one or more units will be delivered on a single multicast address. As with symbol ranges, unit distribution across multicast addresses will not change intra-day, but may change after notice has been given.

Symbol distribution across units as well as unit distribution across multicast addresses are identical for real-time and gap response multicast addresses.
