[zeromq-dev] DEALER to ROUTER with malformed identity

[Vim I]

Hi,

I am using DEALER to ROUTER in to implement a service broker based on the MAJORDOMO pattern. I found that on certain scenarios, why and when is still unclear to me, the ROUTER starts getting frames which their identity is byte and seem to be like an increasing integer. To clarify I have many connected DEALERs, each has unique identity which look like ‘worker-x1y3z’ but at some point the ROUTER starts receiving a single byte identities which incremented, when i print it is seems to be ‘<‘, ‘=‘, ‘>’, etc. which is ASCII for 60, 61, 62… in it keeps like that till the ROUTER is terminated, the rest of the message seems to be intact. Any idea what can cause that? And how to avoid it?

Thanks
Ofer
