combining these concepts, flume can connect multiple source endpoints to multiple destination endpoints in this case each destination endpoint is receiving the same data consolidated from the various source endpoints importantly, each endpoint can maintain its own independent data standards, schedules and transmission protocols and each transacts with flume through a single pipe use relays to enable the directional trading between each of the specific source and destination endpoints the number of relays is equal to the number of destination endpoints this can also be configured as single source to single destination endpoint relays (making the number of relays equal to # sources # destinations)
