Can some one clarify this.

Thanks

It's the difference between Two-way interactions when looking at it from the
perspective of receive adapters and send adapters.

For a two-way receive port/adapter, the adapter receives a request and sends
out a response. Hence, we talk about a request/response pair.

For a two-way send port/adapter, however, we talk about it sending out a
request (i.e. soliciting the other system) and receiving a response. Hence,
we talk about solicit/response.

The terms are just, in the end, a way of distinguishing two-way interactions
between the two kinds of ports, otherwise it would get very confusing
