10.3.2. Queue Routes

Queue Routes route all messages from a source queue to a destination exchange. If message acknowledgment is enabled, messages are removed from the queue when they have been received by the destination exchange; if message acknowledgment is off, messages are removed from the queue when sent.

When there are multiple subscriptions on an AMQP queue, messages are distributed among subscribers. For example, two queue routes being fed from the same queue will each receive a load-balanced number of messages.

If fanout behavior is required instead of load-balancing, use an exchange route.
