yes i'm clear about that, If i send specific messages to each of nodes with unicast address should need to use instance mandatory to communicate with client to/from server or can use without instance

Ok, if you want to send the same message to multiple servers you should use group address.

If you want to send specific messages to each of the nodes, you need to use unicast address.

Hi again.

I'm sorry but I'm still not 100% sure if I understand what you want to do.

[quote user="Satheeshmr"]what i asked is can i use group address scenario with unicast address[/quote]

I would say the answer to this is no. You can't publish a message using a unicast address to multiple servers. The unicast address is unique, and you can't have multiple servers receive a message sent to one unicast address.

A possibility could be to have the client sequentially change it's unicast publication address, to send it to multiple servers.
But I would suggest that you make use of a group address if you want to publish to multiple nodes at the same time.

More information can be found in Q&A's already on devzone. Like this one:

I'm sorry. I don't think I understand what you actually want to do.

Do you want your client to publish to a unicast address?

From this I thought that you didn't want to use the unicast address?

Hi.

Yes, this is possible.

In order to have your client publish a message for multiple servers, you can use group addressing. The client can publish to one group address, and the servers can all subscribe to that same address.
