<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Thanks Michael and Jerry for your input, I really appreciate it.<br><br></div>Michael,<span style="font:13px Arial"><br>Roughly how many nodes are in your proxy cluster? What sort of message rate/size does it handle? What sort of HA policy do you have if a proxy cluster node goes down?<br>
How does the cluster proxy? Federation or shovel?<br></span></div><div>D<span style="font:13px Arial">o all downstream clusters serve the same purpose or are they separated by function?</span>
<br></div><div>How did you go about determining this topology for your requirements? Was it just a trial and error type experiment or are there well established patterns that I am unaware of?<br></div><div><br><br></div>
<div>Jerry,<br></div><div>When you say "It's very widely done" do you mean:<br>A. A large cluster to contain everything or <br>B. A 'proxy' type upstream cluster that serves as a global entry point<br>
<br></div><div>Thanks so much guys!<br></div><div><br><br><br></div></div>
