[zeromq-dev] Virtual device layer... UDP

[Pieter Hintjens]

Hi,

I've been working on a concept, userspace virtual transports for 0MQ.
The idea is to build in-process bridges that connect apps to other
transports via inproc sockets.

I've got a proof of concept working for UDP (actually more than a
PoC), here https://github.com/pieterh/zvtran/tree/master/v2

The idea is to slowly generalize this so that we can add other
transports easily, as pluggable 'drivers'.

There will be some performance hits, but IMO we can make this pretty
fast since the driver will have its own thread.

Cheers
Pieter
