+message of type T is sent, the message is delivered to one 
+member of each group associated with T. For example, message 
+type 2 might route to two different groups where group A has 
+two members, worker1 and worker2, while group B has only one 
+member, logger1. 
+ 
+The route table consists of a start record, one or more table 
+entry records, and an end record. All table records contain 
+fields separated with vertical bars (|), and allow for 
+trailing comments with the standard shell comment symbol 
+(hash, #) provided that the start of the comment is separated 
+from the last token on the record by one or more spaces. 
+Leading and trailing white space in each field is ignored. 
+The route table supports two entry types: *rte* and *mse*. 
+ 
+A *rte* entry defines a message type, an optional sender 
+application, and the endpoint(s) which accept the indicated 
+message type. However, this format is deprecated and may be 
+removed in a future version. An example record appears next. 
+ 
+:: 
+  
+     rte | 1 | app10:4560
+ 
+ 
+ 
+The second type of entry is *mse*. This entry defines a 
+message type, an optional sender application, a subscription 
+ID, and a collection of endpoints. An example record appears 
+next.
