Thanks, I should have known them earlier, but well I gave some
sufficient answers anyway..

But after the talk I realised something about reliability.

I would like to send results from multiple workers to multiple
subscribers, but being sure that all the messages are received.

If I use PUB/SUB some messages might get lost in case a subscriber is
not active, and with PUSH/PULL only one client would get the message.

So what's the possible solution for this?

Thanks,
Andrea
