Why AMQP?	What is AMQP?	AMQP Model	Wire-Level Format
Though many networking protocol needs have been addressed, a large gap exists in common guaranteed-delivery messaging middleware. AMQP fills that gap...	AMQP enables complete interoperability for messaging middleware, both the networking protocol and the semantics of broker services are defined in AMQP.	The AMQP model explicitly defines the server's semantics because interoperability demands the same semantics for any server implementation.	To enable technology-neutral interoperability, AMQP defines an efficient wire-level format with modern features.
