Thanks very much for your clear answer.
On my side, I have digged a little. The ROUTER initializes randomly a id
variable, then increments it each time a new peer connects. This ensures
that for 2^32 connections, the IDs are different. So, to answer my own
question, I1a != I1b.

Only ROUTERs care about identities.
My understanding is that normally, a NULL ID is sent to the ROUTER at
connection time, which then assigns an identity to that connection (I assume
this is stored in a lookup table, where one column is the connection, and
the other is the ID). If the DEALER has explicitly set an ID, then that is
sent at connection time and the ROUTER stores it instead of a random one.
The DEALER doesn't do anything else with the ID.
The ROUTER then uses the lookup table when it gets messages with a routing
envelope containing an ID to figure out which connection to route the
message to.
Please correct me if I'm wrong about this. :)

I did read ZMTP 3 RFC23 several times, but it is not so obvious, even with
the "Worked Example". In particular if two clients connect in the same time
to a ROUTER server. As the identity is communicated in the metadata at the
end of the handcheck, how the server distinguishes the two clients ? Is
there some temporary identities ? If yes, on what is it built ?
Besides, setting an identity is an option. So a DEALER talking to a ROUTER
SHALL set an arbitrary one. But it knows it talks to a ROUTER after having
sent its identity. So it doesn't know it talks to a ROUTER when it sends its
identity, and therefore, it can send an empty one.
I remain a bit confused.

Laurent, please read the ZMTP v3 protocol spec with regard to
identities. A tells B, "this is my identity". B then uses that value
to refer to A, IF AND ONLY IF B IS A ROUTER. More usually, A says "I
have no identity" and B assigns an internal numeric identity.

Hi Devs,
Are the identities of two different sockets on the same peer the same,
viewed by one single other peer ?
Say:
Node 1 ________________________________ Node 2
Socket A1 (NULL) <----------------------------------> Socket A2
(NULL) : Node 1 has identity I1a
Socket B1 (CURVE) <---------------------------------> Socket B2
(CURVE) : Node 1 has identity I1b
Is I1a == I1b ?
Cheers,
Laurent
