Sender and Receiver Tasks

For the actual physical task of transferring data, the agent's job is straightforward. As a sender, the agent must read and process the source data and then send it to the receiver agent. As a receiver, the agent must receive data from the sender agent and then process and must write the data out to the destination location.

Note: An initiator agent is usually a sender and a responder agent is usually a receiver, however, it can be the reverse.

The case where the initiator agent is the receiver while the responder agent is the sender is illustrated here:
