I may be off but asynchronously queuing two messages and implementing a synchronous block in business logic does not sound the same to me as a TCP request response cycle.

TCP doesn't have a request/response cycle - its a stream of bytes between applications

Correct but TCP provides a reliable data stream between two hosts, the (particular) messaging protocol over it wasn't part of what I was trying to point out.
