The following diagrams provide samples of the network topologies
supported by Message Networking:
Point-to-point: This sample is provided to illustrate
the complexity of the connections required when Message Networking
is not present.
Hub-and-spoke: This sample illustrates a network
where Modular Messaging systems and other message systems are networked
via a Message Networking system.
Bridge: This sample illustrates a network where
bridging is used to connect Modular Messaging systems to an existing
network.
Meshed hub-and-spoke: This sample illustrates
a network where multiple Message Networking systems and Interchange
5.4 systems are used to connect messaging systems.
