+// Regression test for redmine issue #22519 to check that readers using unique network flows cannot share locators
+// with other readers. The mentioned issue referred to the case where TCP + builtin transports are present.
+// In that concrete scenario, the problem was that while the TCP (and UDP) transports rightly were able
+// to create a receiver in the dedicated "unique flow" port, shared memory failed for that same port as the other
+// process (or participant) is already listening on it. However this was not being handled properly, so once matched,
+// the publisher attempts to send data to the wrongfully announced shared memory locator.
+// Note that the underlying problem is that, when creating unique network flows, all transports are requested to
+// create a receiver for a specific port all together. This is, the creation of unique flow receivers is only
+// considered to fail when it fails for all transports, instead of decoupling them and keep trying for alternative
+// ports when the creation of a specific transport receiver fails.
+// In this test a similar scenario is presented, but using instead UDP and shared memory transports. In the first
+// participant, only shared memory is used (which should create a SHM receiver in the first "unique" port attempted).
+// In the second participant both UDP and shared memory are used (which should create a UDP receiver in the first
+// "unique" port attempted, and a shared memory receiver in the second "unique" port attempted, as the first one is
+// already being used by the first participant). As a result, the listening shared memory locators of each data
+// reader should be different. Finally, a third data reader is created in the second participant, and it is verified
+// that its listening locators are different from those of the other reader created in the same participant, as well as
+// from the (SHM) one of the reader created in the first participant.
