Dealer/Router for asynchronous client server?

0
votes

Using ZeroMQ, I am building a client/server application that requires asynchronous message - at some point my server might send 2 messages in a row and then the client sends 10, or continuous exchange of messages.

Does this qualify for use of the dealer/router setup or if this is not something ZeroMQ is setup for?

Thanks.

ZeroMQ can out of question provide means for doing this,

yet, this is not the very case for using the original ROUTER/DEALER smart Scalable Formal Communication Pattern archetype.

Given an unspecified message ordering is required, may be fine to use PAIR/PAIR where any side may send whatever amount of messages, whenever it decides to ( there is no formal ordering pre-wired ).

Hope this helps.
