Hi guys I have a situation where we have one server on a public IP and multiple clients connecting to the server over the internet on a raw internet connection. The server has no visibility to the clients and each client is a separate entity and has no visibility to another client.
We have looked at the documentation and done some testing ourselves but at this stage we do not know which connection architecture we should use. We have two opposing thoughts on what type of architecture we should be using, Network of brokers with store and forward or, standard Hub and Spoke connections. The idea of using a network of brokers according to the documentation is that broker to broker communication is less "Chatty" over a WAN, and that broker to consumer connections are not designed to be used over a WAN. The way this would have to be implemented for us, we would have one broker on our central server and one broker per client. It also seems that messages are passed from broker to broker until the message reaches a final broker where the consumer for that queue has a connection to it, is this a correct understanding? If we used standard HUB and Spoke type architecture, we would have one central broker on the server and our client would connect directly to the central broker. I was hoping to find some clarity on these issues and maybe a suggestion on what the best solution would be even if it is completely different to what we have stated above. :confused: -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Network-of-Brokers-or-Standard-connections-tp20768181p20768181.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
