Sizing DXL Brokers

Prev Next

DXL Brokers route messages between clients connected to the DXL messaging fabric. Connect brokers to allow for redundancy, scalability, and communication across different geographical locations.

We recommend a maximum of 50,000 clients per DXL Broker. Size brokers so that if a broker is down, other regional brokers have sufficient capacity to take the load.

For information about redundancy and sizing DXL Brokers, see the DXL Architecture Guide here: https://communitym.trellix.com/t5/Documents/DXL-Architecture-Guide/ta-p/550280?%3E.

The use cases for DXL Brokers are similar to the ePO - On-prem distributed repositories.
