Forgive me for not being very literate with this type of development, but why would you use Bridge over something like ZeroMQ? (I don't work much in this area, so sorry for my naïveté.)
- sthatipamala 14y agoZeroMQ is one layer down the stack. It is higher-level than TCP but it's basically a transport. Bridge comes with RPC and automatic routing. It allows you to expose services simply by instantiating native objects and making method calls. (Like an easier version of Apache Thrift: http://thrift.apache.org/ http://thrift.apache.org/) It also takes care of the socket management and routing for you, so there is no host/port configuration to talk to any endpoint in the system. You can simply address things by a human-readable name like "photo-processor" or "search-server".
