2.2 Protocol Summary

The following table provides a comprehensive list of the Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) protocols.

Protocol Name	Description	Short Name
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Data Structures	The common definition and data structures used by the member protocols of the MSMQ protocol set.	[MS-MQMQ]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Common Data Model and Processing Rules	The abstract data model, events, and processing rules shared by the member protocols of the MSMQ protocol set.	[MS-MQDMPR]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): ActiveX Client Protocol	A DCOM protocol that provides a client application programming interface to the MSMQ protocol set.	[MC-MQAC]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Queue Manager Client Protocol	An RPC protocol that provides a client interface to the MSMQ protocol set through the supporting server deployment profile.	[MS-MQMP]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Binary Reliable Messaging Protocol	A block protocol over TCP/IP or SPX/IPX for reliable transfer of messages between two queue managers.	[MS-MQQB]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Binary Reliable Messaging Algorithm	A routing algorithm used with MQQB by a queue manager to route messages to the appropriate queue manager in a complex network topology.	[MS-MQBR]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): SOAP Reliable Messaging Protocol (SRMP)	An HTTP-based or PGM-based protocol that uses SOAP encoding for reliable transfer of messages from one queue manager to others.	[MC-MQSRM]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Directory Service Change Notification Protocol	A block protocol for notifying a queue manager about changes made to the Directory Service objects owned by that queue manager.	[MS-MQCN]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Queue Manager Management Protocol	An RPC protocol that provides a client interface for MSMQ administration.	[MS-MQMR]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Directory Service Discovery Protocol	A block protocol that uses UDP multicast for locating MSMQ Directory Service servers.	[MS-MQSD]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Directory Service Protocol	An RPC protocol that implements the MSMQ Directory Service. This protocol is superseded by Active Directory.	[MS-MQDS]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Directory Service Schema Mapping	A mapping between relevant Message Queuing abstract data model elements and a directory service over a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) interface.	[MS-MQDSSM]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Queue Manager to Queue Manager Protocol	An RPC protocol that provides an interface between two queue managers for reading and browsing messages from a remote queue. This protocol has been superseded by MQRR.	[MS-MQQP]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Queue Manager Remote Read Protocol	An RPC protocol that provides an interface between two queue managers for reading and browsing messages from a remote queue. This protocol supersedes MQQP.	[MS-MQRR]

The member protocols are grouped according to their primary purposes.

 Common Data Structure and Model:

Protocol Name	Short Name
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Data Structures	[MS-MQMQ]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Common Data Model and Processing Rules	[MS-MQDMPR]

 Message Transfer and Routing Protocols:

Protocols in this group enable transferring messages between queues hosted by different queue managers.

Protocol Name	Short Name
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Binary Reliable Messaging Protocol	[MS-MQQB]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): Binary Reliable Messaging Algorithm	[MS-MQBR]
Message Queuing (MSMQ): SOAP Reliable Messaging Protocol (SRMP)	[MC-MQSRM]

 Core Messaging Functionality Protocols:

Member protocols of this group provide message queuing functionality to applications and are invoked either directly by client applications or indirectly by the queue manager as a result of a client application requesting specific messaging functionality from the MSMQ protocols.
