Abstract:
1. A method for maximizing the distribution of market information in an electronic trading environment, the method comprising: determining a first bandwidth usage of available bandwidth for a communication link for distributing market information from an electronic market via a computing device; dynamically selecting, via the computing device, a first mode of transmission for distributing the market information from the electronic market to comport with the first bandwidth usage of the available bandwidth for the communication link, wherein the first mode of transmission distributes the market information including a periodically transmitted new market information snapshot identifying at least: determining a change in available bandwidth of the communication link to a second bandwidth usage via the computing device the second bandwidth usage being lower than the first bandwidth usage; and dynamically switching, via the computing device, from the first mode of transmission to a second mode of transmission for distributing the market information from the electronic market to comport with the second bandwidth usage, the second mode of transmission distributing the market information differently than the first mode of transmission according to:
