Oh, certainly, you'd never deliver a video as one message, but as a stream of frames, each one message. The problem isn't the size of the individual replies, it's the asymmetry between requests and replies (i.e. one request, many replies), and the need to avoid memory exhaustion at the sender. (Dropping frames isn't an option, really, unless it's exceptional to the point of "your flow control is broken, abandon request"). Perhaps this is a new pattern, yes. Possibly in the way we once had a stream pattern in AMQP. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
