Hi guys I'm new to ActiveMQ, and am still trying to learn my way around how everything works.
I'm trying to find a definitive answer as to the network impact of broker to broker communication as opposed to broker to consumer communication. The "How do distributed queues work" page is a bit vague to me. it says "Store and forward is often used in large networks where producers are on one LAN and consumers are on another LAN and you wish to use a broker on each LAN as a kind of network concentrator to minimise chattiness over the WAN between them (and to minimise the number of connections required across the WAN too)" My understanding of the above paragraph is that broker to broker communication would reduce network traffic in the case where each individual LAN has multiple consumers, as there is only one component talking. If each individual LAN only had one consumer(as opposed to multiple) would broker to broker communication still have an advantage over broker to consumer communication? what do you mean when you say that Broker to broker communication generally creates less traffic? does that mean that it is according to your configuration, or according to the type of distributed messaging you use? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Network-of-Brokers-or-Standard-connections-tp20768181p20792976.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
