class ZMQ::Proxy

The proxy connects a frontend socket to a backend socket. Conceptually, data flows from frontend to backend. Depending on the socket types, replies may flow in the opposite direction. The direction is conceptual only; the proxy is fully symmetric and there is no technical difference between frontend and backend.
