There is probably a wider use case, based on detecting network problems before TCP times out, and on detecting blocked (looping) peers. Admittedly blocked peers is unlikely with 0MQ handling IO but it's not excluded. You probably only need _aggressive_ heartbeating (under a second) on HA systems. I'm trying to recall the websocket discussion on heartbeating (and that is not for HA systems but for wider Internet use) but that list is rather confusing. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
