The Multicast Transport

The Multicast transport allows clients to connect to a remote ActiveMQ broker using multicast

Note that by default Multicast is not reliable; datagrams can be lost so you should add a reliability layer to ensure the JMS contract can be implemented on a non-reliable transport.

Configuration Syntax

multicast://address:port?transportOptions

Transport Options
Option Name Default Value Description
minmumWireFormatVersion 0 The minimum version wireformat that is allowed
trace false Causes all commands that are sent over the transport to be logged

timeToLive -1 The time to live of datagrams. Set greater than 1 to send packets beyond the local network. (NOTE: This won't work for IPv4 addresses without setting the property java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true. For more info see the IPv6 User Guide for JDK)
