[zeromq-dev] ZMTP v3.0

[Pieter Hintjens]

Hi all,

I've published a draft of the ZMTP v3.0 protocol, and an article
explaining the reasons and design decisions, see
http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:23 and http://hintjens.com/blog:39.

Overall:

* addition of SASL-style security mechanisms (NULL, PLAIN, CURVE ,...)
* extensible connection metadata (socket type, identity, resource, ...)

Critiques and comments welcome. At this stage we're not looking for
new features, just to solve the biggest problems with the current
protocol.

Next steps: reference implementation (in C), and then implementation
in libzmq, to give us a 3.3 version.
