AMQP
AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) is an open standard, platform independent method for ensuring information is encrypted and safely transferred between applications, among organizations, within mobile infrastructures, and across the Cloud. AMQP is a wire-level protocol which formats and sends data across the network as a binary stream of bytes. This allows any tool that can create and interpret messages that conform to this data format to interoperate with any other compliant tool irrespective of implementation language. The messaging protocol is fast, efficient and portable. It features secure guaranteed delivery with acknowledgement of received messages. AMQP supports a wide variety of messaging applications and communication patterns for interoperable messaging. AMQP is assigned to port 5672 or 5671 for AMQPS (TLS/SSL encrypted AMQP). This is the equivalent of port 443 for encrypted TCP traffic.
