The disclosed embodiments, collectively referred to as the 'Message Ordering Buffer' or “MOB”, relate to an improved messaging platform, or processing system, which may also be referred to as a message processing architecture or platform, which routes messages from a publisher to a subscriber ensuring related messages, e.g., ordered messages, are conveyed to a single recipient, e.g., processing thread, without unnecessarily committing resources of the architecture to that recipient or otherwise preventing message transmission to other recipients. The disclosed embodiments further include additional features which improve efficient and facilitate deployment in different application environments. The disclosed embodiments may be deployed as a message oriented middleware component directly installed, or accessed as a service, and accessed by publishers and subscribers, as described herein, so as to electronically exchange messages therebetween.

Systems and methods are provided for efficiently permitting the transmission and receipt of trading messages between message sources configured to use a variety of different protocols. Messaging gateways may be configured to reformat messages for proper transmission across a transport mechanism. Messaging gateways may also insert sequence and group information into message headers to facilitate processing messages in the proper order. Messages may be processed with processing threads that are dynamically allocated by messaging gateways.
