Market and Instrument States - control market and instrument availability and allowable order entry activity.
Automated Port Closure - automatically logs out and closes primary and backup ports for any iLink session that exceeds the threshold of invalid Logon (tag 35=A) messages.
Protection Functionality for Market and Stop Orders - prevents Market and triggerd Stop orders from being filled at extreme prices.
CME Globex Market Segment Gateway Safeguards - when CME Globex detects an iLink message that spans more than one packet, CME Globex submits the message to additional processing.
