-What is ØMQ?
-============
-
-"A ØMQ socket is what you get when you take a normal TCP socket, inject it with a mix of radioactive isotopes stolen
-from a secret Soviet atomic research project, bombard it with 1950-era cosmic rays, and put it into the hands of a drug-addled
-comic book author with a badly-disguised fetish for bulging muscles clad in spandex."
-
-Key differences to conventional sockets
-Generally speaking, conventional sockets present a synchronous interface to either connection-oriented reliable byte streams (SOCK_STREAM),
-or connection-less unreliable datagrams (SOCK_DGRAM). In comparison, 0MQ sockets present an abstraction of an asynchronous message queue,
-with the exact queueing semantics depending on the socket type in use. Where conventional sockets transfer streams of bytes or discrete datagrams,
-0MQ sockets transfer discrete messages.
-
-0MQ sockets being asynchronous means that the timings of the physical connection setup and teardown,
-reconnect and effective delivery are transparent to the user and organized by 0MQ itself.
-Further, messages may be queued in the event that a peer is unavailable to receive them.
-
-Conventional sockets allow only strict one-to-one (two peers), many-to-one (many clients, one server),
-or in some cases one-to-many (multicast) relationships. With the exception of ZMQ::PAIR,
-0MQ sockets may be connected to multiple endpoints using connect(),
-while simultaneously accepting incoming connections from multiple endpoints bound to the socket using bind(), thus allowing many-to-many relationships.
