Batch Request Processing
Batch request processing is a technique where multiple individual requests are grouped together into a single message for transmission. This significantly reduces the overhead associated with network communication, such as TCP handshake and packet headers.
In high-volume cryptocurrency trading, batching allows a user to submit dozens of orders or query multiple balances in one go. This improves efficiency and reduces the total time required to synchronize state with the exchange.
However, it requires careful design to ensure that if one part of the batch fails, the entire transaction can be handled gracefully. It is a key optimization for professional traders and liquidity providers.
