abstract:
- content: The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is an open internet protocol
    for business     messaging. It defines a binary wire-level protocol that allows
    for the reliable exchange     of business messages between two parties.     AMQP
    has a layered architecture and the specification is organized as a set of parts
    that     reflects that architecture. Part 1 defines the AMQP type system and encoding.
    Part 2 defines     the AMQP transport layer, an efficient, binary, peer-to-peer
    protocol for transporting messages     between two processes over a network. Part
    3 defines the AMQP message format, with a     concrete encoding. Part 4 defines
    how interactions can be grouped within atomic     transactions. Part 5 defines
    the AMQP security layers.
