Hi, I am working a middleware project and found that ZeroMQ is missing some features to be perfect fit for the application. Namely heart-beating to discover lost connections and outdated data and some sort of unreliable transport for things like video streaming or RT communication.
Some deeper research on this topic brought me to resources about two new features in ZeroMQ: First ZMTP 3.1 seems to support heartbeating on the transport layer. This would be great for my middleware project since I could neglect implementing it on the middleware level: http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:37/ZMTP Furthermore, I discovered the NORM transport which seems to be a suitable transport for things like video streaming since it supports an "unreliable" mode without per packet feedback. http://zeromq.org/topics:norm-protocol-transport So my question: In which version of ZeroMQ will these features be available? Furthermore, if not available yet which time-frame are we talking about until these features will make into the stable branch? Thanks, Alexander _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
