I just benchmarked the performance (esp. latency) of ipc:// vs tcp://127.0.0.1 with the perf/ test suite and it shows that they are about equal!
This comes very surprising to me as unix domain sockets should be a good bit faster than localhost TCP (somewhere between 2 and 8 times I would expect). I compared against this fork of ipc-bench (https://github.com/Nicoretti/ipc-bench) which shows that raw unix domain sockets have indeed less latency than loopback TCP - do you have an idea what could be the reason for this performance difference not being reflected in 0mq? Thanks! _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
