Fibers are a bit old hat, Windows supports them for compatibility in
porting.  The only caveat with 0mq is sockets passing through threads,
fiber implementations generally do not permit fibers to migrate.

The challenge with fibers is how to yield.  This would generally mean each
fiber polling their 0mq sockets and yielding if empty.  This would
generally lead to inefficient power usage compared with vanilla threading
models as all the fibers will constantly spin unless under heavy traffic.
