On Sunday, February 24 (trade date Monday, February 25), CME Group will continue to launch consolidated iLink fill messages on CME Globex to reduce the number of iLink Execution Report - Fill messages. With this launch, CME Globex will consolidate Fill Execution Reports. Currently, when an aggressor order matches with multiple resting orders, CME Globex sends execution reports to the aggressor for each individual resting order.
As a result of fewer consolidated fill execution reports being disseminated, MDP 3.0 Trade Summary Messages (tag 35-MsgType=X, tag 269-MDEntryType=2) will be published up to 80 microseconds faster than today, in internal testing.
The key client system impacts of consolidated iLink fill messages include:
All CME Group products will support Consolidated iLink Fill Messages, except the following products:
| Product | MDP3.0 Security Definition message (tag 35-MsgType=d): tag 762- SecuritySubType |

| CBOT Treasury Invoice Swaps | IN |
