Hi JB, Thanks for the reply but no. I do use that option but in fact, if I used this in this scenario it would have the opposite effect as the super-fast links go through more brokers than the slow one.
To simplify the problem, just imagine 2 brokers connected to each other over 2 network links, one fast (primary) and the other slow (backup/failover). I only want to use the failover link when the primary is in a failed state, meaning that I want to go back to the fast link on recovery. I feel like I have looked at every option but just want to confirm whether this can be done. Thanks again ________________________________ From: Jean-Baptiste Onofre <j...@nanthrax.net> Sent: 01 November 2021 16:46 To: users@activemq.apache.org <users@activemq.apache.org> Subject: Re: Network of brokers and priority network links Hi Paul, If you are using ActiveMQ 5.x, you can decrease network priority to allow local consumers first and fallback to remote brokers else. Is it what you are looking for ?
