<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’ve set up a symmetric federation between two brokers A and B, that is, an exchange on one broker acts as the upstream for one on the other broker with the same name and vice
versa.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">To prevent messages from going into an infinite loop I’ve set max_hops to 1, but I am under the impression that messages published to broker A and then proxied to broker B are
somehow proxied back once again to broker A and just then ignored because of the max_hops setting.
<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Is this behavior expected? Our rationale for using this kind of symmetrically configured federation is twofold: first to prevent messages to go into loops and secondly to conserve
bandwidth by preventing messages to roundtrip from A to B and back, and this second aspect doesn’t seem to work correctly right now.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
