Cascading Cache

The Wombat Cascading Cache allows market data to be distributed to an independent market data infrastructure, such as to a subsidiary, to a remote office, to a test/development network, or to separate sub-infrastructure(s)
for distribution of delayed and/or conflated data.


Essentially, the Cascading Cache is very similar to a feed handler (and is largely composed of the same PAPA components that a feed handler uses). On the one hand, it provides exactly the same caching and distribution
functionality as a feed handler. On the other hand, it is a MAMA subscriber to the Market Data Backbone (or, conceivably, another Cascading Cache).


Note: The Cascading Cache is actually a special case of the "Migration Utilities", which provide ridges to and from the Wombat system and legacy systems.
