[zeromq-dev] Is zmq suitable for p2p protocols?

[Jorge Timón]

Hi, we're discussing some things about a distributed protocol in the
ripple forum and I proposed to use ZeroMQ to build a prototype server.
We want the p2p protocol to be transport independent but we're going
to probably just use TCP as a start.
I posted here before to ask about the possibilities of extending zmq
to use tor, i2p, etc. Thank you for your answers then.
This protocol was what I had in mind. Do you think zmq would be useful
for building our protocol or Ryan's right and we should stick to TCP
alone.
