Hi Theo,

I'm not sure about the progress, but I was looking at the zeromq some time
ago.

The ZMQ does not handle data marshaling - it is only capable of passing
binary blobs of data.
If you find it useful I can advertise an XDR boost::archive, which is based
on Peter's on real-time
marshaling for mqueue. XDR seems a nice choice, since it is supported by
virtually all platforms
and does is job without any memory allocation.

Here you can find the source code. I have successfully tested it under
Linux, QNX and Mac OS.
At this moment we are using it for talking between Linux (both 32 and 64
bit) and QNX nodes.

I would be happy to contribute with zeromq transport, but I do not want to
take an effort until
status of such a need is clarified.

Nico, Peter,

you both previously have been discussing the implementation of zeromq for message transport. I am interested in using this as well; has either of you produced something that is openly available and may help me get started?

Thanks in advance,
Theo.
