Hi Deepika,
Using multicast, you can have a kind of auto-discover of new ActiveMQ
nodes. So the scalability is easy and dynamic.
The problem is that, in a lot of companies, the multicast is not allowed
on networks (firewall and security policy).
In that case, you need to "staticly" define the list of ActiveMQ nodes.

Hi All,
I am using SMX 3.3.1 on Windows XP. In conf\activemq.xml, there are two
options to set-up clustering between different servicemix instances or
brokers. Using the uri="multicast://default" or
uri="static://(tcp://host1:61616,tcp://host2:61616)" in the
<amq:networkConnectors> tag.
Any known pros/cons on these options?(static Vs multicast)
Which option is recommended in production and why?
Thanks in advance,
Deepika
