Class SmallestMailboxRoutingLogic

This class contains logic used by a Router to route a message to a Routee determined using smallest-mailbox. This process has the router select a routee based on the fewest number of messages in its routees' mailbox. The selection is done in the following order:

  • Pick any routee with an empty mailbox.
  • Pick a routee with the fewest pending messages in its mailbox.
  • Pick any remaining routees.
note

Remote routees are consider lowest priority, since their mailbox size is unknown.

note

For the case, when all routees are of unpredictable size, the selection process fails back to round-robin.
