[zeromq-dev] Load balancing REQ/REP sockets

[Brian Granger]

Martin,

Thanks for clarifying this.  I just ran wireshark to try to understand
how all this works:

* 1 XREQ socket with HWM=LWM=2.
* 2 REP sockets that are connected that also have HWM=LWM=2.

Then I just started sending messages on the XREQ.  I could see from
wireshark that the messages continue to be delivered to the REP
sockets even after passing the HWM.  Is this the expected behavior?

I was speaking of the case described above- multiple REP sockets
connected to the XREQ.

Cheers,

Brian
