Messages among eFTL Clients

In the simplest use case, an FTL channel can forward messages among eFTL applications. (Communication with FTL applications is not a requirement for using an FTL channel.)

The diagram shows three eFTL applications: one that publishes and two that subscribe. These eFTL applications connect to a TIBCO eFTL server with one channel, which forwards messages among the applications. The red arrows indicate forwarding within the eFTL side: that is, from eFTL publishers to eFTL subscribers, through an FTL channel.

If an eFTL application both publishes and subscribes, it does not receive messages from itself through the FTL channel.
