It says that for outgoing messages, "SHALL > silently drop the message if the queue for a subscriber is full."

I take it that the queue being full means that the high > water mark has been exceeded. > When a PUB socket enters the mute state due to having reached the high water mark for a subscriber, then any messages that would be sent to the subscriber in question shall instead be dropped until the mute state ends. The send function does never block for this socket type. > What is a binary comparison? Is it the same as bitwise comparison?

Hence a subscription can use any binary prefix not just characters. //Kevin >
