Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: receiving a message associated with a group comprising a plurality of message consumers, wherein the message identifies a message consumer among the plurality of message consumers in the group subscribed to a holding queue at a time in which the message consumer among the plurality of message consumers in the group is connected to a messaging network; determining, by a processor, that the message consumer among the plurality of message consumers in the group is disconnected from the messaging network at a first time; calculating, by the processor, a likely future point of connection to the messaging network at a second time for the message consumer among the plurality of message consumers in the group that is disconnected from the messaging network at the first time in view of a pattern of a plurality of points of connections of each of the plurality of message consumers associated with tracking information, wherein the second time occurs after the first time; establishing, by the processor, the holding queue proximal to the likely future point of connection, wherein the message is placed on the holding queue; and sending, by the processor, the message directly to the likely future point of connection before the message consumer reconnects to the messaging network at the second time.
