Ok thanks, I can try that!
Honestly however I think it would be nice to have an
easier/more-optimized way to retrieve such kind of informations...
maybe a message that is sent over a steerable proxy control socket (of
type REQ/REP maybe) or a socket option to retrieve via
zmq_get_socksockopt()

Thanks!
