With link routing, client traffic is handled on the broker, not the
router. Clients have a direct link through the router to a broker's queue.
Therefore, each client is a separate producer or consumer.
+[NOTE]
+====
+Even though the client has a direct link to the broker, it will not be
able to see a connection failure if the broker goes offline and will not
attempt to reestablish the connection when the broker comes back online. If you
want the connection to be reestablished automatically in this type of scenario,
then you should use message routing with autolinks instead of link routing. For
more information, see xref:routing-messages-through-broker[Routing Messages
through a Broker Queue] and

Broker Connection Failure Handling].

This is not correct. Connection reestablishment is _always_ attempted.
With link-routing, the client needs to handle dropped links rather than (in
addition to) dropped connections. With message-routing, the client needs to
handle RELEASED/MODIFIED deliveries (usually by re-sending them).

> When the router is configured with a linkRoute and client connects using
