Client–queue–client
open-in-new
<p>A client–queue–client or passive queue system is a <a href="/facts/Client%25E2%2580%2593server_model/FSnf27C5">client–server</a> <a href="/facts/Computer_network/3w5RM99p">computer network</a> in which the <a href="/facts/Server_(computing)/dEaYFD7r">server</a> is a data <a href="/facts/Queue_(data_structure)/hVPjPXus">queue</a> for the <a href="/facts/Client_(computing)/u0wlVsWI">clients</a>. Instead of communicating with each other directly, clients exchange <a href="/facts/Data/AUBFN97o">data</a> with one another by storing it in a repository (the queue) on a server. </p><p>Like <a href="/facts/Peer-to-peer/wCCdPb0H">peer-to-peer</a>, the client–queue–client system empowers <a href="/facts/Host_(network)/HPNcFXHk">hosts</a> on the network to serve data to other hosts. </p>
