Push Pull Messaging

Definition

Push pull messaging describes a communication model where data can be either actively sent to recipients or passively retrieved by them. In a push system, information is automatically delivered to subscribed users or applications without an explicit request. Conversely, a pull system requires the client to initiate a request to receive data from a server or network. This dual approach offers flexibility in data dissemination and consumption, balancing immediate delivery with on-demand access.
