There is a hidden implication of socket type which is not helping,
something like might be more insightful:

ZeroMQ sockets* support 1-to-*many* and *many*-to-1 semantics,
zmq_bind() defines the
singular endpoint, whilst zmq_connect() is used by the *many* endpoints*.*
Each and every ZeroMQ socket type supports being bound as a singular
endpoint or connecting as a *many *endpoint.  This allows combinations such
as 1 ZMQ_REP to 100 ZMQ_REP and 100 ZMQ_REQ to 1 ZMQ_REP socket connections.
