The following scenarios lists all the possible outcomes in Read reports when the federated read matching feature is activated.

When you configure the federated reads matching feature on the Federation™ host, the Reads and Hits reports can display multiple outputs for a single incoming read. The following use cases demonstrate the different outputs that can be displayed in the reports:
