I am answering some of my own questions here...
I have implemented a first version of the butterfly tutorial in ZMQ 2.0.
I am using ZMQ_UPSTREAM and ZMQ_DOWNSTREAM to connect all processes, and
it works fine, save for one thing: the load balancing. I am launching
two instances of component1 and two instances of component2 (in fact,
component1 and component2 now are identical, and only differ in their
command line parameters, but I digress).
I added as a command line parameter the name of the instance for each
component, and what I am seeing is that only the first instance launched
is receiving messages; the second instance never does anything.
Therefore, the overall throughput never changes.
More details:
1. send_requests does a bind to tcp://127.0.0.1:5009 (see step 5) and a
connect to tcp://127.0.0.1:5001.
2. component1 does a bind to tcp://127.0.0.1:5001 and a connect to
tcp://127.0.0.1:5002.
3. zmq_streamer is configured thusly:
<streamer>
<in>
<bind addr = "tcp://127.0.0.1:5002"/>
</in>
<out>
<connect addr = "tcp://127.0.0.1:5003"/>
</out>
</streamer>
4. component2 does a bind to tcp://127.0.0.1:5003 and a connect to
tcp://127.0.0.1:5004.
5. receive_replies does a bind to tcp://127.0.0.1:5004 and a connect to
tcp://127.0.0.1:5009 (this last one is to send the final sync message).
Again, messages do flow but only through the first instances of
component1 and component2.
Do I have to do anything special in order to ensure that every process
that does a send to an endpoint, does it in a manner that it will be
load-balanced across all processes that are bound to that endpoint?
