Overview

Asynchronous communication is a communication model used by distributed systems where a sender produces data, also referred to as message, and hands it over to delivery to an intermediate system, not expecting an immediate response to the messages. The messages can reach zero, one or more receivers. Asynchronous communication is fundamentally different from its synchronous counterpart in that the application thread that sends the message does not block waiting for an answer, but it can move onto performing additional processing.
