Hi All, currently we do some research in how we can do implement the classical Publisher/Subscriber pattern using ASIO. We had one thread that produces some kind of a message and like to send it out to 1 to n subscribers via TCP, where n is < 5. Message rate will be up to 800 Hz. My first idea is that the producer thread puts the message in a blocking queue. On the other end a consumer thread waits, takes the message and send it to the subscribers via synchronous or asynchronous send. One requirement is, when one connection blocks (because their client is buggy/hangs) it's ok to drop messages for that connection, but we should deliver to the other subscribers. It's also a one way communication from publisher to subscriber. Can someone provide some hints for best practices / design patterns / comments please? If I show up with some other lib like ZeroMQ my colleagues will fry me, so it's the easiest to use boost also for that task.. Best, Ingo
