Hello Andreas & others, I'd like to ask for clarification about the functionality of a federated router network. Lets say we have two 'LANs' (separate IP multicast domains) each with a number of routers using only multicast communication within each domain (ie no sys$routing.connectors within the LAN). A single SwiftMQ router is chosen from each LAN as a 'gateway' by establishing a sys$router.connectors to a corresponding SwiftMQ router in the other multicast domain. Can you confirm 1.) All multicast traffic from one domain is automatically 'repeated' across the established connector & hence, re-multicast in the other domain? (even if there are no common topics between the gateway SwiftMQ routers)? if so 2.) If there is a sys$routing.connectors path (even indirect..ie 2+ hops) between any two routers in the same multicast domain (ie routers A & B can communicate via multicast & additionally are both connected to router C which cannot) , traffic will loop endlessley? & finally 3.) Is there a way to prevent multicast traffic from one domain, being propagated across the connector? cheers Dominic Glynn ------------------------------------------------------ SwiftMQ developers mailing list * http://www.swiftmq.com To unsubscribe from this list, send an eMail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and write in the body of your message: UNSUBSCRIBE developers <your-email-address> Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/developers@mail.iit.de/
