If you specify a DEVICE, FRONTEND, and BACKEND +then _zmq_device_ starts a single device acting as a mini-broker. If you +specify a CONFIGFILE, you can configure _zmq_device_ to start multiple +concurrent devices with arbitrary configurations. + +*Note* - zmq_deviced is not yet implemented. This is a design. + +MINI-BROKER USAGE +----------------- +Runs as a mini-broker that accepts connects to both frontend and backend. This +creates a hub-and-spoke topology in which all peers connect to the device. This +is a robust and easy to manage topology. + +DEVICE is one of: *queue*, *forwarder*, or *streamer*. See +linkzmq:zmq_device[3] for a specification of these device types. + +FRONTEND and BACKEND are endpoints in the format 'transport'`://`'address', See +linkzmq:zmq_bind[3] for a specification of valid transports and addresses. + + +CONFIGURED USAGE +---------------- +CONFIGFILE is the name of an XML file, readable by 'zmq_device'. This file +provides a specification of the devices to start and how to connect and/or bind +their frontends and backends. If CONFIGFILE is absent or *-* then the +configuration is read from standard input. + +The configuration file has this general syntax: + +---- + + + + + ... + ... + ... + + + ... + ... + ... + + + +---- + +*iothreads*:: + specifies the number of I/O threads for the process. Specify this only for + high-volume scenarios. See linkzmq:zmq_init[3]. +*device*:: + defines one device. For each device element you define, 'zmq_device' will + start a thread. +*frontend*:: + defines the frontend for the device. Occurs once per device element. You + may override the default socket type. +*backend*:: + defines the backend for the device. Occurs once per device element. You +may override the default socket type. +*set*:: + defines a socket option for the frontend or backend. The valid names are + *hwm*, *swap*, *identity*, *subscribe*, *unsubscribe*, *rate*, + *recovery_ivl*, *mcast_loop*, *sndbuf*, and *rcvbuf*. See + linkzmq:zmq_setsockopt[3]. +*bind*:: + binds the frontend or backend to the specified endpoint. See + linkzmq:zmq_bind[3]. +*connect*:: + binds the frontend or backend to the specified endpoint. See + linkzmq:zmq_connect[3]. + +SOCKET TYPES +------------ + +By default 'zmq_device' uses these socket types: + +*queue* device:: + frontend is *xrep*, backend is *xreq*. +*forwarder* device:: + frontend is *sub*, backend is *pub*. +*streamer* device:: + frontend is *pull*, backend is *push*. + +You can override the socket type for frontend or backend. The valid types are: +*req*, *rep*, *xreq*, *xrep*, *sub*, *pub*, *pull*, *push*, and *pair*. See +linkzmq:zmq_socket[3]. + +*Note*: if you use a *sub* socket you must explicitly set a subscription filter +or your socket will not receive any data. + + +EXAMPLE +------- + +.Creating a queue broker +---- +zmq_device queue tcp://*:5050 tcp://*:5051 +---- + +.A TCP-to-multicast proxy forwarder +---- +zmq_device - + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +---- + + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkzmq:zmq_device[3] +linkzmq:zmq_init[3] +linkzmq:zmq_setsockopt[3] +linkzmq:zmq_bind[3] +linkzmq:zmq_connect[3] +linkzmq:zmq[7] -- cgit v1.2.3
