Abstract

A messaging system may include a sender backend system, a receiver backend system, and one or more intermediate hubs. The backend systems and message hubs may have messaging software with different protocol versions. The messaging system is downward compatible such that messages routed from the sender backend system through intermediate message hubs are received by the receiver backend system with a protocol version compatible with that of the receiver backend system.
