While reviewing Zyre, the open source implementation of ZRE, and the ZRE
specification, I found something puzzling.
Using the latest Zyre source - https://github.com/zeromq/zyre and download the
latest source ("Download ZIP" button on right) - view the file src/zre_msg.c
and look at the function zre_msg_recv(). This is the function that receives and
parses the ZRE protocol frames. The order of reading fields from the header
is: 1) signature - line 246, 2) id - line 258, and 3) sequence on the first
line of all the valid case alternatives. Note that "id" is what I would call
the ZRE message type, e.g. Hello, Whisper, Shout, et al, although the ZRE spec
is silent about what this number represents.
In contrast, review the ZRE spec page http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:20 and look at
the order of fields there. It specifies: 1) signature, 2) sequence, and 3) id.
A search of the Open and Closed issues on the GitHub page revealed nothing
relevant, and neither did a search of the ZeroMQ discussion archives.
Am I interpreting something wrong? If so, what did I miss? If not, which one
is correct?
