Advanced Message Queuing Protocol
Appearance
The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol is an application layer protocol for messaging, intended to allow commoditisation of messaging implementations in the same way that SMTP has for mail.
It was developed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., who also produced an in-house implementation, then documented as an interoperable standard by a working group including Red Hat and Cisco Systems.
