The bridge broker name is used as an identity for that bridge's durable consumers. With a durable consumer, a bridge subscription needs to remain through a durable connect/close. This is achieved by using a well known name for the durable subscription in the bridge. This name is based on the bridge's broker name. This ensures that the bridge subscription remains through a durable subscription close/reopen and that the reopened subscription can reconnect with the original bridge's subscription.
