-# zmqprototype
-[ALPHA CODE] My learning project to prototype a cross platform zmq rep-req render node
+# poomer-zmq-client_server
+c++ cross platform prototype zmq rep-req render node
 
-- This is the code before integration with bella_engine_sdk
+[ZeroMQ messaging library](https://zeromq.org)
 
 server starts in pubkey server mode, allowing one client to grab the pubkey
--   keypairs are generated on every start
-- requires port 5555, 5556, 5557
-client 
+- keypairs are generated on every start
+- used tcp ports 5555, 5556, 5557
