[zeromq-dev] ZHeartbeat

[Pieter Hintjens]

Hi Mark,

I started on a zservice module with a very similar intention. Perhaps
you could expand on that? It's still empty. The notion is to abstract
away from the implementation: define a service, look for a service,
where the actual mechanics aren't part of the API. "zheartbeat" is too
low level as a concept IMO.
