|
|
zmq_tcp - 0MQ unicast transport using TCP
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
TCP is an ubiquitous, reliable, unicast transport. When connecting distributed
|
|
applications over a network with 0MQ, using the TCP transport will likely be
|
|
your first choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ADDRESSING
|
|
----------
|
|
A 0MQ address string consists of two parts as follows:
|
|
'transport'`://`'endpoint'. The 'transport' part specifies the underlying
|
|
transport protocol to use, and for the TCP transport shall be set to `tcp`.
|
|
The meaning of the 'endpoint' part for the TCP transport is defined below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assigning a local address to a socket
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
When assigning a local address to a socket using _zmq_bind()_ with the 'tcp'
|
|
transport, the 'endpoint' shall be interpreted as an 'interface' followed by a
|
|
colon and the TCP port number to use.
|
|
|
|
An 'interface' may be specified by either of the following:
|
|
|
|
* The interface name as defined by the operating system.
|
|
* The primary IPv4 address assigned to the interface, in it's numeric representation.
|
|
* The wildcard `*`, meaning that the interface address is unspecified.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Interface names are not standardised in any way and should be assumed to
|
|
be arbitrary and platform dependent. On Win32 platforms no short interface
|
|
names exist, thus only the primary IPv4 address may be used to specify an
|
|
'interface'.
|
|
|
|
Connecting a socket
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
When connecting a socket to a peer address using _zmq_connect()_ with the 'tcp'
|
|
transport, the 'endpoint' shall be interpreted as a 'peer address' followed by
|
|
a colon and the TCP port number to use.
|
|
|
|
A 'peer address' may be specified by either of the following:
|
|
|
|
* The DNS name of the peer.
|
|
* The IPv4 address of the peer, in it's numeric representation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WIRE FORMAT
|
|
-----------
|
|
0MQ messages are transmitted over TCP in frames consisting of the message
|
|
length followed by the message data. The size of the message data MUST
|
|
correspond to the message length. A single 'frame' can be defined by the
|
|
following ABNF grammar:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
frame = (message-length message-data)
|
|
message-length = OCTET / (escape 8OCTET)
|
|
escape = %xFF
|
|
message-data = *OCTET
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
For messages of 0 to 254 octets in length, the message length is represented by
|
|
a single octet:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
0 1 2 3
|
|
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
|
|

|
|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|
|
| Message body ...
|
|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+- ...
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
For messages of 255 or more octets in length, the message length is represented
|
|
by a single octet with the value `255` followed by the message length
|
|
represented as a 64-bit unsigned integer in network byte order:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
0 1 2 3
|
|
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
