message publish / subscribe systems are required to process high message volumes with reduced latency and performance bottlenecks . the end - to - end middleware architecture proposed by the present invention is designed for high - volume , low - latency messaging by , among other things , reducing intermediary hops with neighbor - based routing , introducing efficient native - to - external and external - to - native protocol conversions , monitoring system performance , including latency , in real time , employing topic - based and channel - based message communications , and dynamically optimizing system interconnect configurations and message transmission protocols .
