CleoCleo: Thanks for the reply. These are long-standing TCP connections, meaning that the client that connects to my Camel application establishes the connection and in the "sunny-day" case continues to send a continual stream of messages each of which are delimited by the <MSG> ... </MSG> tags. The message rate is subject to busy-hour patterns, so it's high at certain peaks hours and could slow to a trickle at non-peak hours.
For the load-balancing portion in the out-going direction, my Camel application would also typically have long-standing TCP connections to each recipient host.
