[zeromq-dev] UDP message with zeromq 2.0beta

[Guo, Yanchao]

Hi Martin, I am trying the simple test program for udp, and I setup a simple pair of server/client on my machine. Out of 10 messages, I only get like 4 or 5 messages successfully received. I understand that UDP doesn't guarantee that all message to be delivered , but I think the success rate is just too low. Did you see the same for your testing? 

The attached is my source code (which is basically copy of sample code form zeromq site).

Sender:
#include <zmq.hpp>

int main ()
{
        zmq::context_t ctx (1, 1);
zmq::socket_t s (ctx, ZMQ_PUB);
long rate = 10000; //  Limit the throughput to 10Mb/s.
s.setsockopt (ZMQ_RATE, &rate, sizeof (rate));
s.connect ("udp://eth0;224.0.0.1:5556");
zmq::message_t msg (10);
memcpy (msg.data (), "xy.z\x00" "ABCDE", 10);
s.send (msg);
        return 1;
}

Receiver:
#include <zmq.hpp>
#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
        zmq::context_t ctx (1, 1);
zmq::socket_t s (ctx, ZMQ_SUB);
s.connect ("udp://eth0;224.0.0.1:5556");
s.setsockopt (ZMQ_SUBSCRIBE, "", 0);
zmq::message_t msg;
s.recv (&msg);
std::cout << "received\n";
std::string abc((char*)msg.data(), msg.size());
std::cout << abc << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
