The main element of the proposal is the new throttle component block based on the need to convey throttle information on a per session basis (or even per message type within a session). UserResponse is just one of the messages it makes sense to add this block. The Logon response is another but we decided to leave this out for now as it has an impact on FIXT. In general, I believe that less messages flowing back and forth is better and do not think that dedicated messages for throttling are warranted. The UserXXX messages are generic in my view and should be used to inform the user about various things after the initial logon was successful. I do not think we should restrict these messages to a narrow scope. > > The Throttle component might also need to be added to the > > UserNotification message as the UserResponse cannot be used to update > > throttle limits in an unsolicited fashion.
