        <para>
        The Qpid Broker has one or more <emphasis>Virtual Hosts</emphasis> (independent containers of <emphasis>Queues</emphasis>,
        <emphasis>Exchanges</emphasis>, etc) sharing a connection, authentication, and access control model via the configured
        <emphasis>Ports</emphasis>, <emphasis>Authentication Providers</emphasis>, <emphasis>Group providers</emphasis> and
        <emphasis>Access Control Providers</emphasis>. <emphasis>Keystores</emphasis> and <emphasis>Truststores</emphasis> can
        be defined on the broker level and linked to <emphasis>Ports</emphasis> configured with an SSL transport. The Broker
        also provides management plugins to allow configuring and monitoring it.
