The Peer Transport

The Peer transport provides a peer-to-peer network with ActiveMQ. What actually happens is the peer transport uses the VM transport to create and connect to a local embedded broker but which configures the embedded broker to establish network connections to other peer embedded brokers.

Configuration Syntax

peer://peer-group/brokerName?brokerOptions

Example URI

peer://groupa/broker1?persistent=false
