More importantly, the default limit is also a failsafe. Flooding a network with multicast can do *bad* things to your network really quickly. For example, most consumer switches do not do IGMP snooping, so your multicast data will effectively be broadcast to everyone and sundry connected to your switch. Also, IIRC the ZMQ_RATE and ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL options need to also be set for a receiver to function correctly. At least that's what I found when testing with the camera example, but that was some time ago. More information on this can be found on the OpenPGM site. -mato _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
