Keepalive interval is the outer limit of silence #65

Closed donmendelson closed 6 years ago

donmendelson commented 6 years ago

Clarify that the keepalive interval is the outer limit of silence, but hearbeats may be sent more frequently than required. In other words, sending a Sequence or Context message more frequently than required is not a protocol violation. A firm may wish to send an explicit sequence number before initiating a trading strategy, for example, even when it is not required by the time interval since the last application message.
