  • Windows 7 Enterprise x64
  • Java 1.8.0_05 (Java HotSpot™ 64-bit Server VM)

This benchmark measures the time required for processing outgoing message inside the engine. The starting point of measure is a point before calling to FIXSession.sendMessage() (t1) and the end point is just before the sending packet with a serialized message to socket(t2).

This benchmark measures the delay between sending a message from one side and it being received by another. This time includes the system delay for passing data through the localhost loop. The starting point of measure is a point before calling to FIXSession.sendMessage() by sender (t1) and the end point is inside the user callback on the acceptor side (t4).
