On the IRC logs I already found some discussion regarding the router-dealer pattern. Martin points out that it is TCP over ZMQ defeating the purpose, and it is suggested that using RAW sockets you could do something similar.
I am looking for a way to have a synchronised req/rep to a broker, and a series workers that could handle requests. The fundamental problem with this method is that I can't track the request at the frontend to guarantee that the reply arrives at the right socket.
To give more background on the problem. The frontend receives a journey planning request. It is offloaded to one of the journey planners attached to the backend.
Is there any example on a Router/Dealer alternative within nanomsg? For example using the RAW sockets?
