46.7. Client-Server Programming with Message Queues

In this section, we consider two of various possible designs for client-server applications using System V message queues:

• The use of a single message queue for exchanging messages in both directions between server and client.

• The use of separate message queues for the server and for each client. The server’s queue is used to receive incoming client requests, and responses are sent to clients via the individual client queues.
