# Certified Message Delivery

Although Rendezvous communications are highly reliable, some applications require even stronger assurances of delivery. Certified delivery features offers greater certainty of delivery—even in situations where processes and their network connections are unstable.

## See Also

This API implements Rendezvous certified delivery features. For a complete discussion, see Certified Message Delivery in TIBCO Rendezvous Concepts.

Certified delivery software uses advisory messages extensively. For example, advisories inform sending and receiving programs of the delivery status of each message. For complete details, see Certified Message Delivery (RVCM) Advisory Messages in TIBCO Rendezvous Concepts.

If your application sends or receives certified messages across network boundaries, you must configure the Rendezvous routing daemons to exchange `_RVCM` administrative messages. For details, see Certified Message Delivery in TIBCO Rendezvous Administration.

Some programs require certified delivery to one of n listeners. See Distributed Queue in TIBCO Rendezvous Concepts.
