[zeromq-dev] How can I do REQ REP where I don't care about the reply?

[Matt Connolly]

You can use  DEALER socket which has the same outbound policy as REQ, but replies are read asynchronously, but not required.

Note that if you want to send messages to a REQ socket from a DEALER you will need to send a two-part message with the first message being an empty (zero-length) message.
