Berkeley style TCP sockets let you connect to/listen from and endpoint and transfer bytes.
That's pretty cool, but what if you want to send messages rather than raw bytes. What if you want to do publish/subscribe rather than send/receive to a single endpoint? &c.
ZeroMQ implements simple things like that that are often implemented differently in an ad-hoc manner.
