- wmf 12y agoNo, this just makes TCP faster.
- Twirrim 12y agoThis is much lower level than those. This is all about the TCP stack. This is the OSI model, from the top down: 7) Application 6) Presentation 5) Session 4) Transport 3) Network 2) Data link 1) Physical ZeroMQ fits in neatly at the top, layer 7 (arguably it is the presentation layer too because it uses its own protocol). What this is talking about relates to network sockets which is around layers 4 and 5 (you can find lots of debate around the subject). Any speed improvements at lower levels in the stack would be seen by stuff on layers above it.
