What is E2E?

It stands for end to end.
In IT, it often refers to the entire pathway connecting two parties in communication.

End-to-end principle

One of the network design concepts is the `end-to-end principle.
This means that advanced processing such as communication control and error detection is done in the end system, while simple processing and relaying is done on the network path.
The end-to-end principle is that advanced processes such as communication control and error detection are performed by the end systems, and only simple processing and relaying are performed on the network paths.

Another related term is `E2EE (end to end encryption)
messages, etc., are all encrypted from one end to the other.
This encryption method is highly anonymous because only the sender and receiver can view the message.

I figured this one out when I thought about it!
But the thought of advanced processing at the end wasn't so much as a recognition, so I'll keep it in mind.
