ExchangeFormat - eaclark/Meander GitHub Wiki

Introduction

An exchange is used to indicate that a series of messages are 'exchanged' between these two nodes at this point in the flow. Generally, it is worthwhile to know that the exchange took place, but the details of the messages are too low level for this particular flow.

Exchanges have a counter associated with them that gets bumped for each Exchange. The current value of this counter is used to construct the default label for the exchange.
