Service requester

The service requester, also known as a service client, discovers services and then uses them as part of its operation.

A service requester uses services provided by service providers. Using an agreed-upon protocol, the requester can find the required information about services using a broker (or this information can be obtained in some other way). After the service requester has the necessary details of the service, it can bind or connect to the service and invoke operations on it. The binding is usually static, but the possibility of dynamically discovering the service details from a service broker and configuring the client accordingly makes dynamic binding possible.
