Hello, ZeroMQ supports multiple NICs for its sockets. If a client gets disconnected with queued messages, it will automatically try to reconnect with the other available NICs. However, there is a problem if the client has set its socket identity (using ZMQ_IDENTITY). The identity does not change upon reconnect. A server with a ROUTER socket that receives the new client's connection will see the same ZMQ_IDENTITY again. However, since the new incoming connection uses a different address (due to a different NIC) but has the same identity, the ROUTER socket will automatically place it into a list of "anonymous" connections. The client has no way of receiving responses.
Does ZeroMQ provide a facility to reassign identities for the clients of ROUTER sockets? Thanks, - Mark. _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
