Since the introduction of NYMEX futures and spreads on the CME Globex platform, market data messaging rates on the CME Market
Data Platform NYMEX channel (20) have steadily increased, recently reaching peaks greater than 3 mbps. To better manage bandwidth utilization, CME is leveraging the scalability of the CME Market Data Platform and introducing
two new channels for NYMEX and COMEX® products.
Complete details on the three NYMEX and COMEX channels on the CME Market Data Platform, including the products assigned to
each channel, is available online.
To facilitate this change, the Instrument Group Codes for the following NYMEX TAS products will change:

These Instrument Group Code changes will be implemented in both the CME certification and production environments Sunday, February 4, 2007 (for trade date Monday, February 5).
The new CME Market Data Platform channels will be available in the certification environment Wednesday, February 7, and in the production environment Sunday, March 11.
To ensure customers have adequate time to prepare for these new channels, CME is also providing two opportunities to subscribe
to these channels in the production environment before their launch, on Saturday, February 24 and Saturday, March 3.
