What does Endpoint mean?

[youhaodeyi]

In http component, what does Endpoint mean? Below is a http configuration:

<http:endpoint service="test:MyConsumerService"
               endpoint="myConsumer"
               role="consumer" 
               locationURI="http://localhost:8192/Service/";
               defaultMep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out"; />

What is the endpoint "myConsumer" mean? 

thanks.
