I checked creating the topic by using the address with name as "A::B" and ActiveMQ ended up creating an address with the name "A::B", it did not create a multicast queue with name B.
AmqpNetLite is an option, but there may be some gaps and I will need to do a good POC to verify it can do things that Apache.NMS can with ActiveMQ. I know we can create competing consumers on a topic (a multicast queue under an address in AMQ) by using the same client ID, but on the other hand it does not do auto-reconnect and failover to passive broker similar to how Apache.NMS can.
