2.  Correct me if I am wrong but I thought EPGM was PGM implemented over UDP. 
If this is correct then after you create the datagram socket you can set the 
option IP_MULTICAST_TTL via setsockopt. I do not believe this is currently 
available in 0MQ. Is that correct?

3. Yes, I could provide a patch. I plan on using 0MQ to distribute multiple 
prices feeds. It's not realistic to batch prices until you have a full UDP 
packet before sending them. This would add latency where it's not desired. I am 
assuming there is a timer tied to the queue which is performing this limit. Is 
that timer configurable and what is the default time interval?

There are no TTLs either in PGM or 0MQ. Do you mean IP TTL option?


That's what I would guess, IPv4 TTL / IPv6 hop limit.

Sounds doable. Would you like to provide a patch?

This is odd, for throughput you generally want less packets as current day 
technology cannot saturate Ethernet with very small packets.

There is no actual question about PGM congestion control?
