[zeromq-dev] How one can benefit from having bound on multiple addresses?

[Pieter Hintjens]

The number of times you bind isn't relevant. Each bind allows peers to
connect. The number of connections (on a single endpoint or multiple
endpoints) affects how the socket pattern works. PUSH/DEALER will
rotate messages out. PUB does multicast. SUB/PULL/DEALER rotates
messages in. ROUTER rotates in, and uses addressed output. PAIR always
sends to its unique peer, if any.
