| = Configuring routing |
| |
| Routing is the process by which messages are delivered to their destinations. To accomplish this, {RouterName} provides two routing mechanisms: _message routing_ and _link routing_. |
| |
| xref:configuring-message-routing-{context}[Message routing]:: |
| Message routing is the default routing mechanism. You can use it to route messages on a per-message basis between clients directly (direct-routed messaging), or to and from broker queues (brokered messaging). |
| |
| xref:creating-link-routes-{context}[Link routing]:: |
| A link route represents a private messaging path between a sender and a receiver in which the router passes the messages between end points. You can use it to connect a client to a service (such as a broker queue). |
