Bayeux Protocol

Bayeux Protocol

Bayeux is a protocol for transporting asynchronous messages (primarily over HTTP), with low latency between a web server and a web client.

 

The primary purpose of Bayeux is to support responsive bidirectional interactions between web clients, for example using using AJAX , and the web server.

 

The messages are routed via named channels and can be delivered:

• server to client
• client to server
• client to client (via the server)

By default, publish subscribe routing semantics are applied to the channels.
