# Format of broker configuration files

A broker configuration file contains the following sections:

- Global settings: settings that apply to all broker operations
- Alternate server definitions: the addresses and names of replica servers to which commands can be redirected in specified circumstances
- Command handler specifications: specify how individual commands should be handled. In the absence of a command handler for any given command, the P4 Broker permits the execution of that command.
