Samuel Robert "Sam" Johnson (born October 11, 1930) is an American politician. He currently is a Republican member of the U.S. said, "Two thumbs up. FPL has officially validated what we've seen the world's leading trading firms asking for all along. As a single, all-or-nothing specification, the sheer size of recent versions has made FIX untenable for many. Our customers are mixing and matching messages today. Building into 5.0 the ability for users to choose only messages and processes appropriate to their business should greatly speed adoption." On the long-term impact of FIX 5.0 on the vendor space for financial messaging solutions, Johnson said, "With standard support for transport independence, the FIX 5.0 specification signals the beginning of the end for point-to-point edge solutions dependent on pure FIX engines. As the lingua franca lingua franca (lĭng`gwə frăng`kə), an auxiliary language, generally of a hybrid and partially developed nature, that is employed over an extensive area by people speaking different and mutually unintelligible tongues in order to of financial messaging, FIX is now positioned to take over as the backbone messaging format for global electronic trading firms. With existing architectural support for transport independence, TCM5 will expand its position as the premier enterprise platform solution for electronic financial messaging." The most fundamental and technically challenging change in FIX 5.0, transport independence removes the long-time tight coupling Refers to hardware and software components that are linked together and dependent upon each other. For example, in a multiprocessing environment, where several computers share the workload, a tightly-coupled system would have to be shut down in order to add or replace a machine. of FIX to a strict TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. session protocol. Commenting on how the change will impact TCM5, David Litner, VP of Engineering, said, "The impact of FIX 5.0 on TCM5 will be minimal, because our modular architecture specifically supports transport independence. Transport independence and pluggable protocols are features we supported in TCM5 architecturally from the beginning, although architectural support for transport independence is just one of many features that separate our platform from the pure FIX engine vendors. It will be interesting to see other vendors' market responses to the new specification."
