Package: libnanomsg5 (1.1.5 dfsg-1.1) [debports]

high-performance implementation of scalability libraries

nanomsg is a socket library that provides several common communication patterns. It aims to make the networking layer fast, scalable, and easy to use. Implemented in C, it works on a wide range of operating systems with no further dependencies.

The communication patterns, also called "scalability protocols", are basic blocks for building distributed systems. By combining them you can create a vast array of distributed applications. The following scalability protocols are currently available:

   PAIR - simple one-to-one communication
   BUS - simple many-to-many communication
   REQREP - allows one to build clusters of stateless services
            to process user requests
   PUBSUB - distributes messages to large sets of interested subscribers
   PIPELINE - aggregates messages from multiple sources and
              load balances them among many destinations
   SURVEY - allows one to query state of multiple applications in a single go
