For now, the +# Gateway only allows Consumers to "subscribe" to receive events from +# particular Suppliers. A more flexible implementation will allow +# Consumers to subscribe to particular types of events, as well. +# +# The following provides an explanation for the fields in this file, +# and how they relate to fields in the corresponding "connection_config" +# file. +# +# 1. Connection ID -- Each Connection Handler is given a unique ID +# that is used in the "consumer_config" file to specify to which +# Consumers the Event Channel will forward incoming events from +# Suppliers. The Connection ID field is the "key" that is used to +# match up Consumer subscription requests in this file with +# connections in the "connection_config" file. +# +# 2. Event Type -- Indicates the type of the event. Consumers +# can use this to only subscribe to certain types of events. +# This feature is currently not implemented. +# +# 3. Consumers -- Indicates which Consumers will receive events sent +# from this Proxy/Supplier ID, i.e., Consumers can subscribe to +# receive events from particular Suppliers. Note that more than +# one Consumer can subscribe to the same Supplier event, i.e., +# we support logical "multicast" (which is currently implemented +# using multi-point unicast via TCP/IP). +# +# Connection Event Consumers +# ID Type +# ---------- ---- --------- + 1 0 2 +# 2 0 3,4 +# 3 0 4 +# 4 0 5 |
