Overview

An open standard binary wire protocol for enterprise message-oriented middleware. AMQP 1.0 defines a peer-to-peer messaging model with links, sessions, and connections. Also ratified as ISO/IEC 19464. Note: AMQP 0-9-1 (used by RabbitMQ) is a different, earlier protocol version with a broker-centric exchange/queue model.

Why it matters for RFID

Used in enterprise RFID middleware for reliable message routing between readers, event processors, and ERP systems. Azure Service Bus and Apache Qpid implement AMQP 1.0 natively.
