The ZSocketRouter class implements a ZeroMQ ROUTER
socket.
- Restrictions:
- Qore::PO_NO_NETWORK
- Overview
- A socket of type
ROUTER
is an advanced socket type used for extending request/reply sockets. When receiving messages a ROUTER
socket shall prepend a message part containing the identity of the originating peer to the message before passing it to the application. Messages received are fair-queued from among all connected peers. When sending messages a ROUTER
socket shall remove the first part of the message and use it to determine the identity of the peer the message shall be routed to. If the peer does not exist anymore the message shall be silently discarded by default, unless ZSocketRouter::setMandatory() is set to True.
When a ROUTER
socket enters the mute state due to having reached the high water mark for all peers, then any messages sent to the socket shall be dropped until the mute state ends. Likewise, any messages routed to a peer for which the individual high water mark has been reached shall also be dropped, unless ZSocketRouter::setMandatory() is set to True.
When a REQ socket is connected to a ROUTER
socket, in addition to the identity of the originating peer each message received shall contain an empty delimiter message part. Hence, the entire structure of each received message as seen by the application becomes:
- one or more identity parts
- delimiter part
- one or more body parts
When sending replies to a REQ socket, the application must include the delimiter part.

- Note
- This class is not designed to be accessed from multiple threads; it was created without locking for fast and efficient use when used from a single thread. For methods that would be unsafe to use in another thread, any use of such methods in threads other than the thread where the constructor was called will cause a
ZSOCKET-THREAD-ERROR
to be thrown.
- It is recommended to use an identity with
