Question

I would like some opinions regarding transporting ISO8583 messages on a transport medium. What are the pro's and con's using TCP vs. Message Queue when sending ISO8583 messages? Which option would be better for different environments?

Was it helpful?

Solution

ISO8583 is a logical message format which can be transported over nearly any medium. TCP and "Message Queue" are at very different communications abstraction layers (OSI 4 vs 7) so they are not really directly comparable. What are your requirements? eg. reliability, recoverability, performance, data protection, transactionality, auditability

OTHER TIPS

In addition to glennb's answer... When you send out an iso8583 message, take into consideration the system that will receive it. Sample scenario: you are sending to a clearing house system which listens to a tcpip port. That clearing house system may have chosen TCP because it requires reliable, ordered delivery of information between two participating network entities.
