> Rather than creating store and forward networks, it might be nice to have a kind of composite transport where...
> * consumers are created on each broker found/discovered. This allows messages to be sent to any broker and consumed by any consumer
> * producers could dynmically choose which broker to send a message to (or could just pick one broker per session/producer)
> this allows for a load balancing layer at the client side which avoids the need for store/forward networks (which results in more network traffic and often increases load on the brokers).
> So it basically pushes load back to the clients. The downside of this appoach is that the clients have more connections to brokers - but given the linear scalability of this, it sounds a great idea to me at least :)
