codybum commented on issue #2573: ARTEMIS-2265 Support Federated Queues and Addresses URL: https://github.com/apache/activemq-artemis/pull/2573#issuecomment-474863280 Our transition to Artemis was on hold until federation came along, so this is a very exciting development. We are making heavy use of 5.x network connectors and I hope this development can help us move forward. A few questions: 1.) Can federation (queue or topic) currently be used like a 5.x network connector, where we can dynamically (after broker has started) specific a remote participant via static address? 2.) Can the described connection be used bidirectionally? For instance, say you have two independent brokers, broker A and broker B, with public unicast ip address. Broker A and B are not configured on startup to be aware of each other and neither have access to a multicast network. Broker A is behind a firewall and can initiate IP connections to Broker B, but Broker B can't initiate connections to Broker A. Using a 5.x NetworkConnector a bidirectional connection can be made from Broker A to Broker B bridging the queues and topics on both brokers. Is this or will this be possible using the existing federation implementation?
