codybum commented on issue #2573: ARTEMIS-2265 Support Federated Queues and Addresses

   Our transition to Artemis was on hold until federation came along, so this is a very exciting development.  We are making heavy use of 5.x network connectors and I hope this development can help us move forward. 
   
   A few questions:
   1.) Can federation (queue or topic) currently be used like a 5.x network connector, where we can dynamically (after broker has started) specific a remote participant via static address?  
   2.) Can the described connection be used bidirectionally?
   
   For instance, say you have two independent brokers, broker A and broker B, with public unicast ip address.  Broker A and B are not configured on startup to be aware of each other and neither have access to a multicast network.  Broker A is behind a firewall and can initiate IP connections to Broker B, but Broker B can't initiate connections to Broker A.
   
   Using a 5.x NetworkConnector a bidirectional connection can be made from Broker A to Broker B bridging the queues and topics on both brokers.  Is this or will this be possible using the existing federation implementation?
