To test connectivity between machines with 0mq, I recommend using the local_lat 
and remote_lat programs that come with the library.

As for what protocol 0mq is using for heartbeat, I'm not sure I understand the 
question. 0mq doesn't have any explicit heart beat unless you create one at the 
application level (for example, with the majordomo pattern). If you are talking 
about heartbeating at the TCP level, then it's not a 0mq issue but a TCP stack 
issue.
