Is zeromq's implementation of PGM independent of the message queuing ? Could we use it for audio over wifi ? Has anyone else used it for audio over wifi ?

(b) How well does it (or should it) work? WiFi always has scalability issues, some intelligence is probably requiring deploying to large scale across many access points. (c) If the wifi / electrical environment is dirty, will zeroMQ's queuing mechanisms get in my way? Yes. ZeroMQ is asynchronous, it's about dumping data as fast as possible to the destination, for audio you want low-latency unreliable messaging requiring no round trips. "guaranteed delivery", as this is a real time broadcast, missing audio segments should be substituted with silence when the cannot Spotify handles this a little better with white noise. There is an option of FEC to improve quality in lossy environments. Is there any chance that anyone would want to implement Uflood, Ucast or any other protocol specifically designed for wifi? WiFi generally means completely random data-loss due to radio interference, wired paths suffer more predictable data-loss and typically burst outages. We may be in a position to provide a testbed environment for large-scale wifi testing if someone else wants to develop the code! Who should we be talking to? Anyone interested in being the lead archtect or developer if we can support testing? I actually have some hardware that may be suitable for such testing, 29 small devices with limited CPU and memory that can be networked via radio or cable. -- Steve-o _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
