[zeromq-dev] Java/Windows issues

[Martin Sustrik]

Hi Robin,

AFAIU your use case requires sender on Linux side and receivers on Win32 
side. You should be aware that Win32 implementation uses native MS 
implementation of PGM the doesn't support UDP encapsulation. On the 
other hand it doesn't require root privileges.

Consequently, when combining Windows and Linux, you have to use raw PGM. 
The sender (Linux) has to run as root, while receivers (Windows) need no 
special privileges.

Both sides are on Linux here, right? The problem is unrelated to the UDP 
encapsulation incompatibility described above and we'll have a look at 
it shortly.
