[zeromq-dev] Do PUSH sockets have a queue?

No. But the queues are created on *per-peer* basis. Ie. if there are two 
PULLs connected to a PUSH, there are two queues in PUSH. If there's no 
PULL connected to PUSH, there's no queue in PUSH. If there's no queue 
there's nowhere to store messages in.

Recently we've discussed possible change that would create a queue as 
soon as socket is created and assign it to the first new connection 
being made.
