- Network Message Exchange (NMX): Includes infrastructure services that support communication between objects on different Engines that are either on the same Platform or on different ones connected by the network. NMX provides queueing capabilities for interprocess communications.
- NMX is packaged as part of the Platform. LMX is packaged as an internal component of all Engines.
