[zeromq-dev] source material for TIBCO to ØMQ migration

[Scott]

I obviously need to read up on PGM. I'd imagine some combination of
forward EC + no back channel would probably satisfy our applications,
I'd probably be pretty happy w/ a 50% FEC penalty in exchange for no
back channel.

Thanks for the info... know what I'll be digging in to tonight!
