[rabbitmq-discuss] Routing algorithm

Hi Abhishek,

I'm forwarding this message to the rabbit discussion list because
we're trying to keep all conversations in one place, so that everybody
can benefit.

So it would be great to keep this discussion in this forum :-)

The answer to your question lies (unfortunately for you) in the spec:
http://jira.amqp.org/confluence/download/attachments/720900/amqp0-8.pdf?version=1

The type of routing depends on the type of exchange, whether it's
direct, fanout, topic or headers.

I hope this is a good starting point for your investigations,

Ben
