[zeromq-dev] Multiple publishers without inproc socket

[Nicolas HUYNH]

Thank you all for your replies !
I'm new to ZeroMQ and I tried too much to stick on the basic examples.
Now I proceed as follows and this works :

- Publisher(s) do :
   zmq::socket_t socket(context, ZMQ_PUB);
   socket.connect("tcp://localhost:5555");

- Subscriber(s) do :
   zmq::socket_t socket(context, ZMQ_SUB);
   socket.connect("tcp://localhost:6666");
   std::string filter = "<xxx>";
   socket.setsockopt(ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE, filter, filter.size());

- And the Forwarder process does :
   zmq::socket_t incoming(context, ZMQ_SUB);
   incoming.bind("tcp://*:5555");
   incoming.setsockopt(ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE, "", 0);
   zmq::socket_t outgoing(context, ZMQ_PUB);
   outgoing.bind("tcp://*:6666");
   zmq::device(ZMQ_FORWARDER, incoming, outgoing);

I will investigate PGM/EPGM transport later (as proposed by Maciej).
