Re: [ebxmlms-general] Multi-hop - Distributed routing of messages

[Patrick Y. <kc...@ce...>]

Ronald,
In the diagram, we mean that Elf, i.e. the "hardware device" version of 
hermes, can be connected to another instance of Elf at the other side of 
the Internet. Or, Elf can be connected to an ebMS message gateway at the 
other side. The ebMS message gateway may be Hermes, or any other ebMS 
compliant server. The ebMS server may then route the messages to 
different clients, but in this case, the routing is not using ebMS 
protocol, and so no multi-hop functionality on ebMS is expected. Hope 
this clarifies the diagram.
Regards, -Patrick
