2No. Ask specific question with code examples. – Mikita Belahlazau Aug 06 '12 at 09:12

@NikitaBeloglazov Maybe not very well formulated but it seems to be a valid question. – assylias Aug 06 '12 at 09:20

1@Nikita - I was asking about the concept of using sequence number in quick fix, not asking the code - You interpreted wrong. – Muneeb Nasir Aug 06 '12 at 09:52

AFAIK it doesn't. It assumes
- You are using a reliable transport such as TCP
- Your routers will ensure sequences are delivered in order without drop outs.
If you see a gap in the sequence numbers something fairly major must have gone wrong and you need to flag this to a user/support staff. It's not something it can recover from automatically.
