The portals in an FPN connection can share content in one direction or both - the portal giving its content to the other portal is called the producer and the portal receiving content from the other portal is called the consumer . Since you can share content between two portals in both directions, each portal in an FPN connection can be a producer and a consumer, at the same time.
FPN connections support only the remote role assignment and remote delta link usage modes. For more information about WSRP application sharing usage, see Managing WSRP Connections .
