single port/multiple connection

Imported from previous forum

I have just looking into the Group discussions on Fixprotocol.org
I am now confused about how one fix gateway accepts multiple connections from multiple /single client

We have a gateway listening to a port (it has multiple session definitions).

Is it possible to connect multiple clients to it, on the same port simultaneously?

How will the engine differentiate among the requests…?

Naveed,

Yes, it is possible to connect multiple clients on a single port.

You can distinguish the requests by their CompIDs.
