This involves configuring a waypoint address to identify the broker queue and
then connecting the router to the broker. All messages sent to the waypoint
address will be routed to the broker queue.
+=== Sending Messages to {RouterName}
+
+{RouterName} moves messages directly from publishers to consumers. The router
does not provide message storage as would a broker. A message sent to the
router must have at least one consumer present in order to properly route the
message. The router uses a _credit_ based flow control mechanism to prevent
publishers from passing messages to the router when there are no consumers
present. A client wishing to publish a message to the router must wait until
the router has provided it with credit. Attempting to publish a message
without credit available will cause the client to block. Once credit is made
available the client will unblock and the message will be sent to the router.
Most AMQP client libraries provide a means for determining the amount of credit
available to a publisher.
