Hello I am newer to Fix, and I am confused about the Fix Session and Fix connection concept on FIX Session Protocol Version 1.1. Fix Session is a bi-directional stream of ordered messages between two parties within a continuous sequence number series. A single FIX session can exist across multiple sequential(not concurrent) physical connections. Fix Session is comprised of one or more FIX connections, meaning that a FIX Session spans multiple logins. So one fix session can have multiple connections at below scenarios: 1. A fix session is created between two physical parties, and there are multiple connections on top of this physical connection. Those multiple connections has different application versions within this fix session. 2. A single FIX session can exist across multiple sequential(not concurrent) physical connections. For such case, since the physical connections are not concurrent, so there is no mean to maintain multiple connections that spans different physical connections. Saying, connection 1 is ip1:port1 - ip2:port2, connection 2 is ip1:port1 - ip3:port3. When connection 1 is down, connection 2 is up, do we need to keep connection 1's info still in session, or we can just delete connection 1? Shall we keep connection 1's sequence number for next log on to trigger resend? Thanks for your reading and please help to answer if you know it.
