[zeromq-dev] Fundamental question on ZMQ. How to determine message fail/success without HWM-arking?

[Laurent Alebarde]

"we don't care if message will get lost on a network" + "we don't need 
guarantee deliveri"

isn't it contradictory with:

"for every single message how to know : whether it was delivered or not"

Probably PUB/SUB is what your architect is looking for.
