Post From: Receiving Delayed Data

I am a paying subscriber to Sierra Charts for a year now.
I am using the Rithmic service with the DTCBridge that comes with Sierra
Charts with an account with AMP Futures.
I have been utilizing your "DTCBridge" application from my personal application
(as per source code provided by you) approximately as follows (C code calling
Windows base services)

SOCKET DTCSocket; //Socket handle
char DTCPort[] = "/port:xxx" ;
SOCKADDR_IN Server; //Socket address information

CreateProcess("DTCBridge.exe", DTCPort, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL,
DTCDirectory, &Startupinfo, &Process_Information)) ;

DTCSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP); //Create socket
Server.sin_family = AF_INET; // address family Internet
Server.sin_port = htons ((unsigned short)DTCPort); //Port to connect on
Server.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr ("127.0.0.1"); //localhost

connect(DTCSocket, (SOCKADDR *)&Server, sizeof(Server)) ;

I then used your DTC protocol (as per documentation provided by you) to
request/receive real time quotes and also to submit/modify/cancel orders using
Windows send and recv calls upon the DTCSocket.
(using very basic socket calls to localhost:port,
sending and receiving data, and interpreting the data as per the DTCProtocol.h
file provided with Sierra Charts)
This has been working well until today when all I could receive were "delayed"
quotes in my application.

Please comment on this issue.
