Bridge Service

Bridge services implement the transport bridges that you define in the realm definition. Any FTL server can provide and manage a bridge service.

FTL servers provide bridge services according to the FTL server configuration file.

Each bridge service can implement one or more bridge objects as defined in the realm definition. These bridge objects are independent: even though one bridge service could implement several bridge objects, messages do not cross from one bridge to another bridge.

If you modify the bridge definitions, or the transport definitions that they use, the FTL server automatically restarts the affected bridge services that implement those bridge objects.

The bridges status table displays bridge services. You cannot disable nor purge them using the GUI.
