since there is no discussions section, I will drop the question here.

in the Scope and Goals,

Zyre provides reliable group messaging over local area networks. It has these key characteristics:

Zyre is reliable, and loses no messages even when the network is heavily loaded.

Uses reliable Dealer-Router pattern for interconnection, assuring that messages are not lost unless a peer application terminates.

The documents cloud be more clear about loses no messages, Under what conditions will the message not be lost ?

I can think of there case here:

  1. recipient crash before read message
  2. recipient crash after read message
  3. send crash before send message

Is there a persistence layer and ack mechanism responsible for this task?

In what conditions the message will lost, maybe add this list into document will help to clear it.

Hi @calvin2021y,
loses no message refers to networking issues. If a peer crashes that is something your application code has to handle.
