ZeroMQ PUB socket buffers all my out going data when it is connecting

Question

I noticed that a zeromq PUB socket will buffers all outgoing data if it is connecting, for example

import zmq
import time
context = zmq.Context()

# create a PUB         


        

Answer 1

So bind() and connect() result in two different behaviors. Why don't you just choose which one you prefer (it seems like bind()) and use that?

It is indeed a feature of ZeroMQ in general that it buffers outgoing messages until a connection is made.
