I was put off by the documentation that said: The default *ZMQ_SNDHWM* value of zero means "no limit".
Shame on me for not trying though :/ I understand that setting the HWM is different depending on the usage pattern. However, I can't find much information on the different criterias that should be considered. I've come up with these: Typical and max packet size, network restrictions, number of packets, available memory, CPU My application will run on a LAN on modern PC's with >=8GiB memory, up to a few kB's per message and only a burst of a few thousand messages once in a while. What value is reasonable in such a case? I also tested with checking the return value of send() but it returned true regardless of sending or not. Are there other ways of being noticed that messages have been dropped? JC
