[zeromq-dev] Bidirectional communication

[Matt Connolly]

If your server uses a ROUTER socket and your clients use DEALER sockets each can send messages to the other in any order.

Once the clients send a message then the router can know the dealers identity to be able to send messages back. 

Best,
Matt.
