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

[crocket]

Why don't you set a timeout for asynchronous ACKs?
You receive ACKs asynchronously and keep associated messages until ACKs
come or a timeout occurs.
A timeout of 20 seconds is a reasonable estimate.
After a timeout, if a message doesn't have a corresponding ACK, it is
determined that the message wasn't delievered, and the message is sent
again or discarded.
