# Communication models - Issues

Event-driven communication:

- Network bandwidth may need to be reserved or guaranteed.

- Reliable delivery and verification requires extra checking.

- Fairness (equal delivery of information) is easier.

Demand-driven communication:

- May require more bandwidth as the number of receivers increases - it does not scale as simply.

- easily built on standard TCP/IP
