Messages Among eFTL Clients

In the simplest use case, an FTL channel can forward messages among eFTL applications, in which case, communication with other FTL services is not required.

The following figure shows three eFTL applications: one that publishes and two that subscribe. These eFTL applications connect to a TIBCO eFTL service with one channel that forwards messages from eFTL publishers to eFTL subscribers.

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