$anycast/$queue and $multicast/$topic in Management

[Clemens Vasters <clemensv@microsoft.com>]

Referring to the discussion on the last call:

 

I’ve added a distinction between the (new) $anycast archetype and the modified $queue archetype such that the latter differs like this:

 

The $queue archetype is a derivative of the $anycast archetype. All characteristics enumerated in the previous section apply, and also:

• The entity SHOULD store messages transferred via the target address for later retrieval via the “source” address, even when no receiving links are attached to the “source” address.

 

I’m not sure there’s an equivalent distinction for $multicast vs $topic, so those might only be synonyms that line up with their conceptual counterparts.
