Hi, I'm fairly new to ZMQ, and I'm looking to use it for a specific project to replace an unweildy HTTP solution.
Currently this is what we have: We have a presence inside a NAT'ed network, we have multiple clients, and one "proxy". We have a public endpoint, with multiple workers behind it. We can only make outgoing connections from the NAT'ed network, and we can only be sure that the proxy will be able to make outgoing connections, and we can't have incoming connections. So currently, all clients make http requests to the proxy. The proxy sends them on to the public end point, which farms requests out to the workers, and then http responses flow back. The way it's done currently means that if we add new functionality, it has to be replicated at all points, rather than a ZMQ solution, where just at the client and worker would be aware of the message format, everything in between would just be for moving messages. For a ZMQ solution, I'm thinking something along the lines of the Queue here (https://learning-0mq-with-pyzmq.readthedocs.org/en/latest/pyzmq/devices/queue.html), except the queue component is split in two, with the left hand side making outgoing connections to the right. Is there a better way to do this? Can it even work (i.e. have I understood correctly)? Thanks for your help with my potentially daft question :) /Kieran _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list zeromq-dev@lists.zeromq.org http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
