TargetCompID , DeliverToCompID , OnBehalfOfCompID Usage

Imported from previous forum

What would be the appropriate way to handle a message where the TargetCompID and DeliverToCompID are the same?

Should the message be accepted and the DeliverToCompID ignored? Or should the message be rejected.

Can a message contain both the OnBehalfOfCompID and the DeliverToCompID?

For example (I=Inst, B= Broker, T=third party)
Message from I to B via T

TAG VALUE


49 I
56 T
128 B

Message from T to B
TAG VALUE


49 T
56 B
115 I
128 B

Should B reject the message from T?

Thanks,
