Transport Bridge Configuration

You can arrange several bridges within a realm. Each bridge requires a separate bridge definition with a distinct bridge name, at least two transport sets, and at least one transport in each set.

Bridge Definitions

To configure bridge definitions, administrators can use the FTL server’s bridge configuration GUI or the FTL server's web API. For details, see Bridges Grid or Bridge Definition Objects.

Configuring a bridge definition in either way automatically embodies the bridge in a bridge application definition within the realm. Bridge application definitions supply bridge services with instructions for binding their transports and endpoints.

Use Transports Uniquely

A transport can be in at most one transport set within a bridge definition.

You may use the same transport definition in more than one bridge. However, it is your responsibility to avoid creating a bridge topology that contains loops.
