Benchmarks
Single Session Echo Scenario
One initiator session is configured on the FIX Antenna Python side.
One acceptor session is configured on the client application side.
The process:
FIX Antenna Python connects to the client application and sends 990000 FIX 4.2 messages at a rate of 50000 messages per second.
The client application receives the messages and responds to FIX Antenna Python with the same message via the same TCP/IP connection (the same session).
FIX Antenna Python collects the response time histogram.
The process is repeated 3 times for each FIX Antenna Python release version.
The response time measured by the FIX Antenna is the difference between timestamps:
t1 - timestamp is taken right before sending a message to the socket
t2 - timestamp is taken right after receiving the same message from the socket (from the client application)
So the round-trip time formula is: RTT = t2 - t1 and the measurement unit is microseconds.

Results
Performance value slightly differs from run to run due to the nature of the system used to measure the performance.
