| Reliable
delivery means the message transport mechanism promises that a
message received by the transport will be transmitted to its intended
recipient, will not be duplicated, and will have deterministic
ordering.
Reliable delivery should not be confused with guaranteed
delivery.

Reliable delivery
can make designing a client or service
much easier, but because reliable delivery requires a substantial
overhead in computational and network resources, it should not
be used when unreliable delivery will do.
