Need specification of ipc:// protocol

[hintjens]

Problem: there's no formal spec for the ZeroMQ ipc:// protocol

Solution: (1) collect the basic info of the protocol frames used, and then (2) write up as a formal ZeroMQ RFC.

ZeroMQ ipc:// transport uses ZMTP protocol.

Including the full security handshake?

[hurtonm]

Yes, no difference between TCP and IPC in this regard.

[hintjens]

OK, that makes things simple, thanks.

Does this also mean that IPC peers can do CURVE authentication?

Yes, CURVE is supported, as well as PLAIN and NULL.
