Hi Pieter,
My need is the following: I need to know who is sending the message  I'm
reading from ROUTER. This is important for me because, the ROUTER might
sometimes initiate a request/response exchange, not only reply to
requests. Thus, to reach the right recipient, I need its socket id.
It means I need, somehow, to maintain a mapping
public_key:socket_identity, because I only have the public_key beforehand.

Nicolas
