Steve I just checked via Wireshark. It is doing PUB side filtering. Are you
sure that you are testing this with zmq 3.1? I setup a simple PUB/SUB in
zeromq.node <https://github.com/shripadk/zeromq.node> fork. Here is my test
code:

// subscriber:
var zmq = require('zmq-3.0');
var sub = zmq.createSocket('sub');
sub.connect('tcp://0.0.0.0:3333');

sub.on('message', function(buf) {
 console.log(buf.toString());
});
sub.subscribe('a');

// publisher:
Array.prototype.rotate = function() {
 var elem = this.shift();
this.push(elem);
return elem;
};
var zmq = require('zmq-3.0');
var pub = zmq.createSocket('pub');
pub.bindSync('tcp://0.0.0.0:3333');

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
var count = 0;

setInterval(function() {
pub.send( arr.rotate() + ':' + (count++) );
}, 2500);

With 2.1 Wireshark shows that it is performing a subscriber side filtering.
Not with 3.1 though.
