/**
 * This test demonstrates and verifies the behaviour of a network bridge when it
 * forwards a message to a queue that is full and producer flow control is
 * enabled.
 * <p/>
 * The expected behaviour is that the bridge will stop forwarding messages to
 * the full queue once the associated demand consumer's prefetch is full, but
 * will continue to forward messages to the other queues that are not full.
 * <p/>
 * In actuality, a message that is sent <b>asynchronously</b> to a local queue,
 * but blocked by producer flow control on the remote queue, will stop the
 * bridge from forwarding all subsequent messages, even those destined for
 * remote queues that are not full. In the same scenario, but with a message
 * that is sent <b>synchronously</b> to the local queue, the bridge continues
 * forwarding messages to remote queues that are not full.
 * <p/>
 * This test demonstrates the differing behaviour via the following scenario:
 * <ul>
 * <li>broker0, designated as the local broker, produces messages to two shared
 * queues
 * <li>broker1, designated as the remote broker, has two consumers: the first
 * consumes from one of the shared queues as fast as possible, the second
 * consumes from the other shared queue with an artificial processing delay for
 * each message
 * <li>broker0 forwards messages to broker1 over a TCP-based network bridge
 * with a demand consumer prefetch of 1
 * <li>broker1's consumers have a prefetch of 1
 * <li>broker1's "slow consumer" queue has a memory limit that triggers
 * producer flow control once the queue contains a small number of messages
 * </ul>
 * In this scenario, since broker1's consumers have a prefetch of 1, the "slow
 * consumer" queue will quickly become full and trigger producer flow control.
 * The "fast consumer" queue is unlikely to become full. Since producer flow
 * control on the "slow consumer" queue should not affect the "fast consumer"
 * queue, the expectation is that the fast consumer in broker1 will finish
 * processing all its messages well ahead of the slow consumer.
 * <p/>
 * The difference between expected and actual behaviour is demonstrated by
 * changing the messages produced by broker0 from persistent to non-persistent.
 * With persistent messages, broker0 dispatches synchronously and the expected
 * behaviour is observed (i.e., the fast consumer on broker1 is much faster than
 * the slow consumer). With non-persistent messages, broker0 dispatches
 * asynchronously and the expected behaviour is <b>not</b> observed (i.e., the
 * fast consumer is only marginally faster than the slow consumer).
 * <p/>
 * Since the expected behaviour may be desirable for both persistent and
 * non-persistent messages, this test also demonstrates an enhancement to the
 * network bridge configuration: <tt>isAlwaysSendSync</tt>. When false the
 * bridge operates as originally observed. When <tt>true</tt>, the bridge
 * operates with the same behaviour as was originally observed with persistent
 * messages, for both persistent and non-persistent messages.
 * <p/>
