Towards benchmarking of AMQP
Stefan Appel, Kai Sachs, Alejandro Buchmann · 2010
With the increasing importance of event-based systems the performance of underlying event transporting systems, such as message oriented middleware (MOM), becomes business critical. Therefore, we see a strong need for benchmarks for such environments. Several messaging standards and protocols for middleware exist; most popular is the Java Message Service (JMS) which is defining an API rather than a wire protocol. An emerging standard is the new wire level protocol Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). It originated in the financial sector and is developed by a consortium of over 20 member organizations.
