[zeromq-dev] UDP support

[Armin Steinhoff]

Hello Martin,

I did locally the following tests on a Linux machine (dual-core, 2.2GHz):

First I send 1000 messages of 1 byte, then 10000 of the same length.
Is the lower performance created by the ethernet driver by buffering of 
messages?

-----------------
Linux-New:/home/Archive/RT-Linux/zeromq-2.0-beta2/perf/c # local_thr 
"udp://192.168.178.126;224.0.0.1:5555" 1 1000
 udp://192.168.178.126;224.0.0.1:5555 1 1000
^[[Amessage size: 1 [B]
message count: 1000
mean throughput: 13333333 [msg/s]
mean throughput: 106.667 [Mb/s]
Linux-New:/home/Archive/RT-Linux/zeromq-2.0-beta2/perf/c # local_thr 
"udp://192.168.178.126;224.0.0.1:5555" 1 10000
 udp://192.168.178.126;224.0.0.1:5555 1 10000
message size: 1 [B]
message count: 10000
mean throughput: 15112 [msg/s]
mean throughput: 0.121 [Mb/s]
--------------------
I don't really understand the results above. Please explain. The test 
below was using 10000 messages with a length of 10 bytes:
--------------
Linux-New:/home/Archive/RT-Linux/zeromq-2.0-beta2/perf/c # local_thr 
"udp://192.168.178.126;224.0.0.1:5555" 10 10000
 udp://192.168.178.126;224.0.0.1:5555 10 10000 
----------------
->  local_thr doesn't terminate.  It seems we are loosing messages ?

Best Regards
