The process for opening non-direct remote queues varies, depending on whether you are opening the remote queue to send messages or whether you are opening the remote queue to peek at or retrieve messages.
One of the main differences between opening a remote queue for sending messages, compared to peeking at or retrieving messages, is the network traffic that is generated by both the local computer and the remote computer where the queue resides.
When you open remote queues with send access, there is no connection to the remote computer until a message is sent to the computer.
When you open a remote queue to peek at or retrieve its messages, both the local and remote queue managers call the directory service. Both queue managers also exchange RPC calls with each other, and the local runtime and the remote queue manager exchange calls as well.
