Subject: ActiveMQ on unreliable mesh networks?

Hello,

I need to build a system with a number of hosts connected through an
unreliable mesh network where the hosts are physically moving, i.e.
all connections are expected to drop regularly, and hosts that used
to be one hop apart might suddenly be three hops apart or not connected
at all.
The network might occasionally be split in such a way that two sets of
hosts never see each other directly, but one (or more) hosts are more
mobile and move between sets, and could therefore store and forward
messages.

All hosts need to (eventually) get data from all other hosts, and can't
lose data. Can activemq handle such a setup?

Frank
