ZMQ DEALER - ROUTER Communication

由 蹲街弑〆低调 提交于 2019-11-28 12:59:19

You could have all clients send a "I am here" message at start-up. The central server could then store all the IDs, c.f. the initial communication between worker and router in here: http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all#A-Load-Balancing-Message-Broker. The server would send out any received message to all currently known clients. You should add some heart beating in order to detect disconnected clients, c.f. http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all#Heartbeating.

However, ZeroMQ already comes with such a communication pattern: PUB—SUB. In essence every client would have a DEALER and a SUB socket connected to the servers ROUTER and PUB sockets. The server simply sends out any received message via the PUB socket to all clients. If this would be a problem for the originating client, you can include the client ID in the message so that each client can filter out messages with their own ID. See also this example from the guide http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all#Getting-an-Out-of-Band-Snapshot

Another interesting pattern would be Republishing Updates from Clients:

Here PUSH--PULL is used to send the updates to the server. This makes sense if there is no need for a reply message from the server. If you do not need the state request from that example, you can leave out the ROUTER--DEALER part. Here a sample implementation using Python for brevity. The server listens to the PULL socket and sends out everything via the PUB socket:

import zmq

def main():
    # context and sockets
    ctx = zmq.Context()
    publisher = ctx.socket(zmq.PUB)
    publisher.bind("tcp://*:5557")
    collector = ctx.socket(zmq.PULL)
    collector.bind("tcp://*:5558")

    while True:
        message = collector.recv()
        print "I: publishing update %s" % message
        publisher.send(message)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

The client listens to the PUB socket for some time. If a message is received it is logged. If the timeout is reached, a message is generated with a 1 in 10 chance:

import random
import time

import zmq

def main():

    # Prepare our context and subscriber
    ctx = zmq.Context()
    subscriber = ctx.socket(zmq.SUB)
    subscriber.setsockopt(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, '')
    subscriber.connect("tcp://localhost:5557")
    publisher = ctx.socket(zmq.PUSH)
    publisher.connect("tcp://localhost:5558")

    random.seed(time.time())
    while True:
        if subscriber.poll(100) & zmq.POLLIN:
            message = subscriber.recv()
            print "I: received message %s" % message
        else:
            rand = random.randint(1, 100)
            if rand < 10:
                publisher.send("%d" % rand)
                print "I: sending message %d" % rand

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

The ( prematurely ) awarded answer does not meet defined properties.

Distributed systems need to operate both smart and efficiently, as the agents are distributed and both error-analyses and deployed production-issues are extremely expensive to analyse / test / debug.

Thus a copy/paste re-use of a problem-incompatible idea is not a way to achieve either the former, the less the latter.

So, let's review the efficiency first:

client-[A].send()-s a message, that O/P wanted to become server-side-[S].recv()-ed and re-broadcast to all other clients-[B,C,...], except the [A]-itself.

The most resources-efficient approach to this is to properly configure the infrastructure tools for doing exactly this, without re-inventing wheel and/or using a fragile and performance-devastating scaffolding code(s).

So:

on the client-[*] side best use the below sketched primitive agent-concept. More complex setups, like using as clever event-handling facilities as Tkinter has evolved to have packed into the .mainloop() soft-real-time system, are better, yet it is not as easy to start design-battles on more than one front, so let's rather keep things simpler at this moment:

zmq_VERSION      = zmq.zmq_version_info()
anAgentsIDENTITY = whateverHashOrHumanReadableSTRING
notMINE          = anAgentsIDENTITY

if     zmq_VERSION[0] < 4:
           print "ZMQ{0:} ver < than expected, will exit".format( zmq_VERSION )
aCTX = zmq.Context( 2 )                        # if performance boosting is needed

#SUB ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
aSUB = aCTX.socket( zmq.SUB )
aSUB.setsockopt(    zmq.LINGER,          0 )   # protect your agent
aSUB.setsockopt(    zmq.MAXMSGSIZE,      m )   # protect your agent from DoS
aSUB.setsockopt(    zmq.AFFINITY,        1 )   # protect your server resources
aSUB.setsockopt(    zmq.HEARTBEAT_IVL,   ivl ) #     set server helping Heartbeats
aSUB.setsockopt(    zmq.HEARTBEAT_TTL,   ttl ) #     set server helping Heartbeats
aSUB.setsockopt(    zmq.INVERT_MATCHING, 1 )   #   avoid server sending data back
aSUB.setsockopt(    zmq.SUBSCRIBE,       notMINE )  #  NEVER .recv()-s  data back

Server can avoid ALL hassles with any need for any ad-hoc handling:

all being well tuned inside the ZeroMQ infrastructure:

pass;  zmq_VERSION = zmq.zmq_version_info()
if     zmq_VERSION[0] < 4:
           print "ZMQ{0:} ver < than expected, will exit".format( zmq_VERSION )

aCTX = zmq.Context( 2 )                        # if performance boosting is needed

#PUB ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
aPUB = aCTX.socket( zmq.PUB )
aPUB.setsockopt(    zmq.LINGER,          0 )   # protect your server
aPUB.setsockopt(    zmq.MAXMSGSIZE,      m )   # protect your server from DoS
aPUB.setsockopt(    zmq.AFFINITY,        3 )   # protect your server resources
aPUB.setsockopt(    zmq.HEARTBEAT_IVL,   ivl ) #     server L3-helper Heartbeats
aPUB.setsockopt(    zmq.HEARTBEAT_TTL,   ttl ) #     server L3-helper Heartbeats
aPUB.setsockopt(    zmq.INVERT_MATCHING, 1 )   #   avoid server sending data back
aPUB.setsockopt(    zmq.IMMEDIATE,       1 )   # avoid Queueing for dead-ends
aPUB.setsockopt(    zmq.TOS,             tos ) # allow for L3-router TOS-policies
...
