Apache Qpid implements several AMQP versions, and includes transaction management, queuing, clustering, federation, security, management and multi-platform support.
Apache Qpid implements the latest AMQP specification, providing transaction management, queuing, distribution, security, management, clustering, federation and heterogeneous multi-platform support and a lot more.
