Talend ESB : Explaination of Routes

[Alpha549]

Hello everyone !

I would like to have a clear idea in my mind of what route are. Here is how I understand this concept. Please correct me about that.

I see routes as a means to have a extra control over jobs. I know that route allows basic things like FTP communication, JMS etc. Basically, routes are there to manage messages, intercept messages, redirect messages, ...

For example I saw that if there is an API symbolised by a job, with its endpoint, we could create a route on this endpoint to add extra processes like load balancing etc. 

So, a route could be used to redirect the traffic of an API on another copy API in order to upgrade the original one. Is it right ?

Thanks for correcting me !

I already saw these links. The problem is that we are not explained what is the use of the route in example...... So actually we don't know what a route is, and use which could be done.......
