The current description text for the net-libs/zeromq is rather meaningless: * net-libs/zeromq Latest version available: 4.3.4-r1 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 2429 KiB Homepage: https://zeromq.org/ Description: A brokerless kernel License: LGPL-3 If I look at the homepage of ZeroMQ, I see this lengthy description: """ ZeroMQ (also known as ØMQ, 0MQ, or zmq) looks like an embeddable networking library but acts like a concurrency framework. It gives you sockets that carry atomic messages across various transports like in-process, inter-process, TCP, and multicast. You can connect sockets N-to-N with patterns like fan-out, pub-sub, task distribution, and request-reply. It's fast enough to be the fabric for clustered products. Its asynchronous I/O model gives you scalable multicore applications, built as asynchronous message-processing tasks. It has a score of language APIs and runs on most operating systems. """ No where in that description is the word "brokerless" used, and the package does not look anything like a "kernel" in the standard meaning of the word in the Linux/UNIX realm. I believe a more accurate description, based off a shortened, derived form of the website's description would be more applicable in this case.
