The session level fix test case 2c (spec volume 2) says that, on receipt of a message with MsgSeqNum lower than expected, the expected behavior should be to disconnect without sending a message. Would it not be preferable (or at least allowable) to send some message (like a logout or a reject) indicating the nature of the problem before terminating the connection, so that the offending party will have some notion of the reason for the disconnect?

This has been addressed by FIX 4.3 Draft #3. Thank you. [PC20010817_7]
