NAME
----
zmq_tcp - 0MQ unicast transport using TCP
SYNOPSIS
--------
TCP is an ubiquitous, reliable, unicast transport. When connecting distributed
applications over a network with 0MQ, using the TCP transport will likely be
your first choice.
ADDRESSING
----------
A 0MQ endpoint is a string consisting of a 'transport'`://` followed by an
'address'. The 'transport' specifies the underlying protocol to use. The
'address' specifies the transport-specific address to connect to.
For the TCP transport, the transport is `tcp`, and the meaning of the
'address' part is defined below.
Assigning a local address to a socket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When assigning a local address to a socket using _zmq_bind()_ with the 'tcp'
transport, the 'endpoint' shall be interpreted as an 'interface' followed by a
colon and the TCP port number to use.
An 'interface' may be specified by either of the following:
* The wild-card `*`, meaning all available interfaces.
* The primary IPv4 or IPv6 address assigned to the interface, in its numeric
representation.
* The non-portable interface name as defined by the operating system.
The TCP port number may be specified by:
* A numeric value, usually above 1024 on POSIX systems.
* The wild-card `*`, meaning a system-assigned ephemeral port.
When using ephemeral ports, the caller should retrieve the actual assigned
port using the ZMQ_LAST_ENDPOINT socket option. See link:zmq_getsockopt.html[zmq_getsockopt]
for details.
Connecting a socket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When connecting a socket to a peer address using _zmq_connect()_ with the 'tcp'
transport, the 'endpoint' shall be interpreted as a 'peer address' followed by
a colon and the TCP port number to use.
A 'peer address' may be specified by either of the following:
* The DNS name of the peer.
* The IPv4 or IPv6 address of the peer, in its numeric representation.
Note: A description of the ZeroMQ Message Transport Protocol (ZMTP) which is
used by the TCP transport can be found at <http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:15>
EXAMPLES
--------
.Assigning a local address to a socket
----
// TCP port 5555 on all available interfaces
rc = zmq_bind(socket, "tcp://*:5555");
assert (rc == 0);
// TCP port 5555 on the local loop-back interface on all platforms
rc = zmq_bind(socket, "tcp://127.0.0.1:5555");
assert (rc == 0);
// TCP port 5555 on the first Ethernet network interface on Linux
rc = zmq_bind(socket, "tcp://eth0:5555");
assert (rc == 0);
----
.Connecting a socket
----
// Connecting using an IP address
rc = zmq_connect(socket, "tcp://192.168.1.1:5555");
assert (rc == 0);
// Connecting using a DNS name
rc = zmq_connect(socket, "tcp://server1:5555");
assert (rc == 0);
