Question: sending a second message before the first one is consumed #42

Is this possible in rzmq/ZeroMQ? I am totally new to ZeroMQ, so I do not know. For my potential application, it is important for processes to be able to move on in spite of a backlog of un-received messages.

Many different types of workflows are possible, but in general yes.

Certain types of sockets support sending multiple messages before receiving replies if at all. Others switch state, such that you need to wait for a reply before sending another message.

I suggest you have a look at the guide. http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all
