Abstract

See full text

Approaches for designating and/or selecting broker systems in a publication-subscription (pub-sub) messaging environment are provided. In one approach, a subscriber system may be designated as a broker system based on a capability of the subscriber system to function as a broker system for its peers. In another approach, a broker system may be selected from among a plurality of broker systems based upon a cache directory that identifies the content/messages that each broker system may have cached. If a particular broker system has previously cached content that is at least similar to an intended message, that particular broker system may be selected for distributing the intended message to a set of subscriber systems.
