> We noticed the following during our testing ....
> When a broker A establishes connection to broker B, the message flow is unidirectional from A to B.
> This is a an issue for us: For example, consider brokers associated with business critical services X and Y. There are many secondary services that either monitor/feed off of the messages coming from them.
> A FOO service would like to process messages going from X to Y. So in FOO's broker configuration we add X's name. However,  messages are not going to flow from X to FOO, till X initiates a connection to FOO. It may not be desirable/possible to change business critical brokers' configuration for usage scenarios like this.
> TCP is bidirectional and asymmetry at connection establishment should not be translated to the higher level network connector. Is there a fundamental need/justification for this design that I may not be aware of ? Otherwise I would like to explore other design options.
