The respondents then have a chance to reply (but after +not obliged to). The survey itself is a timed event, so that responses +received after the survey has finished are discarded. + +TIP: This protocol is useful in solving voting problems, such as leader +election in cluster configurations, as well as certain kinds of service +discovery problems. + +The _nng_respondent_ protocol is the respondent side, and the +<<nng_surveyor.adoc#,nng_surveyor(7)>> protocol is the surveyor side. + +Socket Operations +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The `nng_respondent0_open()` call creates a respondent socket. This socket +may be used to receive messages, and then to send replies. Generally +a reply can only be sent after receiving a survey, and generally the +reply will be sent to surveyor from whom the last survey was received. + +Respondents may discard a survey by simply not replying to it. + +Raw mode sockets (set with `NNG_OPT_RAW`) ignore all these restrictions. + +Protocol Versions +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Only version 0 of this protocol is supported. (At the time of writing, +no other versions of this protocol have been defined. An earlier and +incompatible version of the protocol was used in older pre-releases of +http://nanomsg.org[nanomsg], but was not released in any production +version.) + +Protocol Options +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The following protocol-specific options are available. + +`NNG_OPT_MAXTTL`:: + + Maximum time-to-live. This option is an integer value + between 0 and 255, + inclusive, and is the maximum number of "hops" that a message may + pass through until it is discarded. The default value is 8. A value + of 0 may be used to disable the loop protection, allowing an infinite + number of hops. + +Protocol Headers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The _nng_respondent_ protocol uses a _backtrace_ in the header. This +form uses an array of 32-bit big-endian identifiers, where the first +element in the array +identifies the local peer identifier to which the message will next be sent. +This is a hop-by-hop header where each element in a path adds routing +information to the end when sending a survey, and when replying removes +elements to obtain the next hop information. The survey ID is at the +end of this header and is inserted into the header as its first element +by the originating surveyor.

This socket +may be used to send messages (surveys), and then to receive replies. Generally +a reply can only be received after sending a survey. Generally a surveyor +can expect to receive at most one reply from each responder. (Messages +can be duplicated in some topologies, so there is no guarantee of this.) + +Attempts to receive on a socket with no outstanding survey will result +in `NNG_ESTATE`. If the survey times out while the surveyor is waiting +for replies, then the result will be `NNG_ETIMEDOUT`. + +Only one survey can be outstanding at a time; sending another survey will +cancel the prior one, and any responses from respondents from the prior +survey that arrive after this will be discarded. + +Raw mode sockets (set with `NNG_OPT_RAW`) ignore all these restrictions. + +Protocol Versions +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Only version 0 of this protocol is supported.

Attempts to receive + after the timer expires with no other surveys started will result in + `NNG_ESTATE`. Attempts to receive when this timer will result include + `NNG_ETIMEDOUT`. + +`NNG_OPT_MAXTTL`:: + + Maximum time-to-live.
