// Asynchronous client-to-server (DEALER to ROUTER) - pure libzmq
//
// While this example runs in a single process, that is to make
// it easier to start and stop the example. Each task may have its own
// context and conceptually acts as a separate process. To have this
// behaviour, it is necessary to replace the inproc transport of the
// control socket by a tcp transport.

// This is our client task
// It connects to the server, and then sends a request once per second
// It collects responses as they arrive, and it prints them out. We will
// run several client tasks in parallel, each with a different random ID.
