- has the callout server a dispatcher as a front end (the callout protocol performing between disptchers) or not (the callout protocol performing beteween a dispatcher and a remote server).

The callout protocol is used between an OPES processor (which includes a data dispatcher) and a callout server.

- what does the dispatcher do with the part of the traffic it does not send to the server and it received?

Messages not being vecored out to a callout server are forwarded to their respective destinations. For example, an HTTP request would be forwarded towards the content provider (i.e. Web server), an HTTP response would be forwarded towards the content consumer (i.e. Web client)
