The method also can include extracting metrics from the job request pertaining to availability of peers to the node and updating a local data store of metrics in the processing node with the extracted metrics. The method yet further can include processing the message according to the job request and setting an availability for the processing node in the local data store of metrics. Finally, the method can include forwarding the processed message and the metrics in the local data store to the egress node for transmission to the different type of messaging system.
