Right. However, this won't work if there's infinite number of topics. > Crypto: Multicast can go anywhere.

This is the algorithm that makes sense even on Internet scale: There can be as many devices in the middle (i.e. distribution tree can have as many levels as needed), the devices don't have to be trusted and the the delivery still works. On a different topic: There's definitely a need for forwarding subscriptions up the stream in 0MQ (from subscriber to publisher). As Pieter noted this can be done only for bidirectional transports (TCP, inproc and alike), not for uni-directional ones like PGM. The design for the functionality is ready, the implementation is missing. There have been some guys who volunteered for implementing it lately, but I haven't heard from them since.
