 ## Transfers and "send via"
 
-To enable transactional handover of data from a queue to a processor, and then to another queue, Service Bus supports *transfers*. In a transfer operation, a sender first sends a message to a *transfer queue*, and the transfer queue immediately moves the message to the intended destination queue using the same robust transfer implementation that the auto-forward capability relies on. The message is never committed to the transfer queue's log in a way that it becomes visible for the transfer queue's consumers.

 The power of this transactional capability becomes apparent when the transfer queue itself is the source of the sender's input messages. In other words, Service Bus can transfer the message to the destination queue "via" the transfer queue, while performing a complete (or defer, or dead-letter) operation on the input message, all in one atomic operation.
