Communication Layer

Definitions

1. The part of a system responsible for sending, receiving, or abstracting communication between components, services, or clients. A communication layer typically hides protocol details so the rest of the application can work with higher-level messages or interfaces.

   In plain English: The part of a system that handles how components communicate.

   Example: "They refactored the communication layer so retries, tracing headers, and connection pooling lived in one place instead of being reimplemented in every service client."
