Comment on MQTT turns 25parent

this statement is a bit confusing. because with zeromq, one side plays the broker (I dont mean the broker pattern). I mean it in the sense that someone, somewhere, needs to listen on a port. which in the end is the same as having a central mqtt broker sitting somewhere listening on a port. hence the statement "no broker needed" is a bit confusing.

one side plays the broker

Hopefully most people understand that I meant that you don’t need a stand-alone broker, which on embedded systems means one more thing to deploy and worry about the license for.

Edit: Also:

The philosophy of ZeroMQ starts with the zero. The zero is for zero broker (ZeroMQ is brokerless)

I think you can also connect in a random order, so bind doesn't need to happen before connect.
