ActiveMQ Network Of Brokers (Network Connector) Vs Network Bridge

Network Connector:

ActiveMQ network of brokers configuration is achieved using network connector. A network connector specifies one or more ActiveMQ servers/brokers where messages are forwarded or pushed from the ActiveMQ server which has this network connector is configured.

Following diagram makes it clear:



There is a duplex property on network connector configuration which allows bi-directional message flow similar to network bridge. Wth this property set to true, all destinations configured in network connector will be available for bi-directional message flow, where as in network bridge one can choose explicit destinations. For example you want to forward all the messages from Hub to spoke but only want to forward selective destination message from spoke to hub then a network bridge is better.

Network Bridge:
A network bridge configuration on a ActiveMQ server/broker, allows message to be selectively consumed from other ActiveMQ brokers or forwarded from this source ActiveMQ server/broker to other ActiveMQ server/broker.

Following diagram makes it clear:
