[edit] Protocol

SWIFTNet InterAct Realtime is a client-server protocol. The sender of the message is the client. The receiver of the message is the server:

  1. client: sends a request to the receiver. The request contains the message payload to be sent.
  2. server: receives the request.
  3. server: processes the message payload and determines the response.
  4. server: sends the response.
  5. client: receives the response.

Both the client and the server have to be connected to the network simultaneously in order to exchange messages successfully.

[edit] Application

SWIFTNet InterAct Realtime is best suited to mission- and time-critical applications, for example SWIFTNet FIN.
