[rabbitmq-discuss] Federation Configuration and Duplicate Messages

[Letourneau, John P (John)]

Well, perhaps a bit more about my configuration 8-)
3 nodes...call them N1, N2, N3.
On each I have federation configured.
N2 - exchange log, connects to N1/log and N3/log
N3 - exchange log, connects to N2/log
Right now I cannot seem to have the N1 exchange log connect to N2/log; will need to find out why sometime.
I do it this way so that regardless of where the producer of the log message is, everyone everywhere will see it.

Each layer in the hierarchy only knows about nodes in adjacent layers...N2 being the busy one with a layer above and below.
If everyone has hops=1, sending a log message to N1/log will only go to N2 and not N3 [this is correct].
Setting hops=4, sending a log to N1/log will go to N2 and N3...it will also be returned to N2 thus a consumer on N2 will see the original msg AND the one sent via N2/N3 federation link. Also N3 sees it twice also for a total of once on N1, twice on N2, and twice on N3...the message took a total of 4 hops.

So, this is what I mean by 'one might expect' 8-)

Hi John, I'm not sure about this:

As one might expect, this sometimes results in the message being seen >1 time at some clients.

It shouldn't be the expected behavior except for certain scenarios (i.e. disconnection of the brokers). Am I missing something perhaps?
