That's my humble opinion and the numbers > support it. What numbers? Only you have produced them so far. We have been quite patient with you. It appears you have some experience, so I'm confused as to why you refuse to provide any code for the rest of us to run to duplicate your results. If the roles were reversed I am certain you would want to run it yourself. If you want our help, don't tell us to "google" some code to run. If it's really that easy then provide a link and make sure that your numbers are coming from the exact same code. Until someone else can independently verify your numbers then everything you have written is just smoke. > Also try comparing the latency of Java NIO using TCP/UDP against ZeroMQ using > the inproc transport using two threads in the same JVM instance. > > What is the problem with inproc?
