Your goal is to? analyze and decode a streaming quotes API so that you can? create a document that describes it accurately.?
The API currently runs on the Windows platform only, and I'm interested in duplicating it on my Unix platform (you won't need to write code).
You'll be given a working Windows program? which makes use of? the API,? so that you can observe the protocol using standard packet capture software.
