IPC subscription to outgoing network publication

[kdkavanagh]

The docs indicate that there is a way to consume a network publication via IPC using a spy subscription. Is there any other stronger way to consume IPC from a network publication that carries all the same flow control semantics as a normal subscription, or is it required for the publisher to publish 2x across different publications to enable that?

@kdkavanagh What do you mean by?

As noted in the documentation spy will participate in the flow control, i.e. will apply back-pressure as any normal consumer. It is also possible to treat spy subscription differently using tether=false URI parameter when adding spy.

Ah understood, thank you for clarifying. Seems that with the right mix of configs, it's possible to get it to behave exactly like a normal subscriber

It does behave like a normal subscriber out of the box but it is possible to change the behavior via additional configuration options.
