However, you raise an interesting point. Perhaps it's possible to get the same results without having a distinct socket type. For example, DEALER to DEALER (xreq/xreq) with a restriction of 1 connection per socket. Martin S. has already discussed adding this ability to limit connections on a socket. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
