Devices
~~~~~~~
-0MQ provides 'devices', which are building blocks that act as intermediate
-nodes in complex messaging topologies. Devices can act as brokers that other
-nodes connect to, proxies that connect through to other nodes, or any mix of
-these two models.
+Apart from the 0MQ library the 0MQ distribution includes 'devices' which are
+building blocks intended to serve as intermediate nodes in complex messaging
+topologies.
-You can start a device in an application thread, see linkzmq:zmq_device[3].
+The following devices are provided:
+
+Forwarder device for request-response messaging::
+ linkzmq:zmq_queue[1]
+
+Forwarder device for publish-subscribe messaging::
+ linkzmq:zmq_forwarder[1]
+
+Streamer device for parallelized pipeline messaging::
+ linkzmq:zmq_streamer[1]
