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]
+====
+If the connection to the broker fails, the routed links are detached, and
the router will attempt to reconnect to the broker (or its backup). Once the
connection is reestablished, the link route to the broker will become reachable
again.
+
+From the client's perspective, the client will see the detached links
(that is, the senders or receivers), but not the failed connection. Therefore,
if you want the client to reattach dropped links in the event of a broker
connection failure, you must configure this functionality on the client.
Alternatively, you can use message routing with autolinks instead of link
routing. For more information, see xref:routing-messages-through-broker[Routing
Messages through a Broker Queue]
