[Question] Any plan to support UDP protocol?

[hyunseok-yang]

Environment

NetMQ Version:  NetMQ.4.0.0.207
Operating System:  Ubuntu 18.04
.NET Version:    Net 4.0x (@Unity3D)

Expected behaviour

Support UDP

Actual behaviour

NOT Support UDP

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I've tried to utilize a UDP protocol with NetMQ but it says NOT support UDP as document says.

But, I'd like to know if there is any plan to enhance UDP

NetMQ is not yet supporting UDP. But Radio/Dish is already here... If you would like to contribute that I can help guide you. The UDP protocol is pretty simple to add. I can direct you to the exact code that needs to be ported from Libzmq. I don't think it is a lot of work.

@somdoron What I'm trying to do is publishing or subscribing message through UDP protocol. So Radio/Dish message pattern(?) seems not working on my own project.

May I ask why NetMQ does not support UDP? Any technical issue or history in terms of this protocol?

I tried forking project and code somewhere but it is not a way I want. Actually, I just want to use binary library from NuGet which supports UDP :)

+1 for UDP support for the Radio/Dish sockets! It would be a really fantastic addition to the library

@somdoron could you point to the exact code in here then somebody might pick up the task? I was just trying out something but I ran into this issue, somdoron/AsyncIO#39 Maybe I was completely of track.
