I am looking at building a message dispatch system. The clients connect to a server on a well known port and subscribe to 'topics'. Clients can also generate 'topics' of their own which are published to other subscribed clients.
I need the subscription filtering to be done on the server rather than the individual clients. One reason is "psuedo-security" -- some of the 'topics' I do not want to be pushed to certain clients. Another reason is the 'topic' subscriptions will be sparse -- only a few of the main clients will be subscribing to individual 'topics'. Looking at the message patterns available in zeroMQ, I'm not clear that I can accomplish this. I need to be able to identify which client generated a message and route it to subscribed clients. I can not do this with the pub/sub pattern. Since there is no response, I do not see that I can use the req/rep pattern. I am new to zeromq, so I figure I am not understanding how or if I can implement this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
