Push Access Protocol

Imagine you have a toy car that goes forward when you push it. Now imagine a computer program that needs to send things from one computer to another. Just like you need to push the toy car to make it go, this computer program needs a way to "push" the things it wants to send from one computer to another.

This is where the push access protocol comes in. It's like a set of rules that allow different computer programs to push information back and forth between them. It's kind of like a handshake between two people - they agree on how they'll communicate before they start talking.

So when a program wants to send something to another computer, it uses the push access protocol to say "Hey, I have something to send you!" And then the other computer responds, saying "Okay, I'm ready to receive it!"

It's important for programs to have this kind of protocol because it helps them communicate effectively - just like you need to know how to push the toy car in order to make it go where you want it to go.
