[zeromq-dev] Forwarder stops forwarding

[Robin Weisberg]

Well you can just set the limit appropriately if you plan on sending 10GB messages. Also on the receiving end as long as you are receiving data for a message you know the connection is still alive so even if it takes 2 minutes to read a huge message, it shouldn't time out since you are still receiving data. You would only disconnect if you didn't receive any data at all for X millis.

Understood.

That can backfire in case of large messages. If timeout is 1 sec and 
transfer of 10GB messages takes 10 secs. The connection would timeout 
during the message transmission.
