Unitary Mesh

The natural topology of a unitary transport definition is a mesh, that is, a complete graph, over all its runtime transport objects.

The diagram shows this topology with five process instances. Any process on this bus can send messages to all of its peers and receive messages from all of its peers.

Notice that all five processes necessarily use the same transport definition (T) to join the bus (this is the definition of a unitary transport definition).

Unitary Mesh

You can easily create mesh topologies using a single transport definition of type dynamic TCP, shared memory, or symmetric multicast.
