A channel is an addressable component, made available by the [server](#definitionsServer), for the organization of [messages](#definitionsMessage). [Producer](#definitionsProducer) applications send messages to channels and [consumer](#definitionsConsumer) applications consume messages from channels. [Servers](#definitionsServer) MAY support many channel instances, allowing messages with different content to be addressed to different channels. Depending on the [server](#definitionsServer) implementation, the channel MAY be included in the message via protocol-defined headers.
#### Protocol
-A protocol is the mechanism (wireline protocol or API) by which [messages](#definitionsMessage) are exchanged between the application and the [channel](#definitionsChannel). Example protocols include, but are not limited to, AMQP, HTTP, JMS, Kafka, Anypoint MQ, MQTT, Solace, STOMP, Mercure, WebSocket.
