Subscription is not echo'ed in v5.7 hub-spoke network of brokers

[dimitry12 <di...@pletnikov.com>]

I'm using Apache ServiceMix 4.5.3 with ActiveMQ 5.7 in it.

I have 3 nodes all with exactly same config (except karaf name and ActiveMQ
broker name - they are different):
- hub
- spoke1
- spoke2

spoke1 is connected to hub via duplex openwire network connector.
spoke2 is connected to hub via duplex openwire network connector.

spoke1--(duplex)-->hub<--(duplex)--spoke2

My goal: produce messages on spoke1 and consume on spoke2 with hub doing
store-and-forward.

The problem:
- messages pile-up on spoke1
- spoke1 doesn't see any subscribers for this queue
- hub sees a subscriber (spoke2), but apparently doesn't advertise himself
as subscriber to spoke1

I tried the following combinations:
1) reverse: make spoke2 produce messages and spoke1 consume - same thing,
doesn't work
2) produce on spoke(s) and consume on hub - works
3) produce on hub and consume on spoke(s) - works
4) produce on hub and one spoke, consume on another spoke - only hub's
messages are consumed
5) produce on one spoke, consume on hub and spoke - only hub consumes
messages, which is kind of expected

Summing-up: it looks like a configuration with consumer-broker and
producer-broker doesn't work for me if separated by another broker, which
consumer and producers are both connected to through duplex
networkconnector.

What may I be doing wrong? What additional information might be helpful to
troubleshoot the issue?

Thanks!

Looked at the docs again.

The reason for this behavior is that networkTTL defaults to "1" and limits
how many jumps the subscription or message can do across a network of
brokers. Increased it to "10" and my network works!

I suggest to put it more prominently on a
http://activemq.apache.org/networks-of-brokers.html page.
