A better way to describe console and agent is to call them roles. For example, a software program may perform the role of QMF Agent, and therefore become manageable via QMF. Another program may act in the role of QMF Console and manage some number of agents. It is also possible for a software program to act in both roles simultaneously and can do so using a single connection into the AMQP messaging infrastructure.
