<br>
That's definitely not right!<br>
<br>
First of all, could you send the output of "rabbitmqctl report" for each broker?<br>
<br>
Also, which version of RabbitMQ are you using?<br>
<br>
Secondly, you might want to investigate whether the underlying infrastructure used by federation is wired up correctly. There should be a queue for each (exchange, downstream) pairing declared in the upstream broker (called "federation: [exchange] -> [node]"). It should be bound (once) to an internal exchange with a similar name. That internal exchange should be bound to the upstream exchange with all the bindings that are in use downstream.<br>


<br>
Does it look like that is happening? Is the infrastructure queue seeing the message rates you would expect?<br>
<br>
