Hi, Additional information: The routing group master server maintains current link state information for its routing group and propagates it to the other servers within the routing group. A bridgehead server is responsible for the actual delivery of the message to the remote Route Group. Example of how link state information replicate within routing group: 1. Bridgehead server detected the link state updates and then informs Master server. 2. Master server applies the changes to link states table. 3. Master server propagates new link state information to all members.
