+// Adding this here for now; in the future it might be better to have
separate procedures for creating inter-router and route-container connections.
+When a router connects to a broker, the broker may provide backup
connection data that the router can use if the primary connection fails. If the
primary connection fails, the router attempts to reconnect by using a
combination of the primary and -- if provided -- backup connections. For more
information about viewing the backup connection data provided by the broker,
see xref:managing_connectors[].
