[zeromq-dev] zyre and upw/limited platform

[Osiris Pedroso]

Doron,

What is needed next on it?
I see that there is a Dealer type socket only implemented. Implement other
socket types?

What would actually be the ultimate goal/API surface for a ZMTP compatible
library for UWP in C#?

Is it implementing the ZMTP protocol <https://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:23/ZMTP/>
in .NET?
