Quote Vendor Notice: Integration of CBOT Market Data into CME Group

As previously announced on July 12, 2007, the CBOT Market Data will be integrating into CME Market Data Platform (MDP). The CME Market Data Platform (MDP) provides a more efficient dissemination platform for processing increased rates of market data messages. This platform implements a dual-feed, User Datagram Protocol (UDP) multicast architecture to enable more efficient message delivery, greater scalability, and more flexible customer redistribution of market data messages. The CME Market Data Platform is based on open network and protocol-based standards that allow implementation on any desired software or hardware platforms.

To ensure that Data Vendors do not lose connectivity once the integration process to CME MDP is complete, all vendors must complete the following steps prior to connection to MDP:

• Sign the appropriate IDA (if applicable)
• Fill out a Schedule 6 for circuit connectivity

Please be advised if your company does not currently have CME connectivity, you will be required to attain New Circuit Connectivity to the CME to avoid an interruption in service. If you would like to begin the connectivity process, please contact one of the following:
