[zeromq-dev] Question about epoll

[BELLUS Stefan]

Perfect Martin,

It is working now. Thank you a lot.

I want to show your nice library in our firm. I want to show how can we use it and of course performance.
I want to compare our implementation of socket (based on linux socket) with our library.

There is no server/client architecture in our system. Each node have to communicate with other bidirectional.
When node A receives request from outside world (in this case it is server for outside world) it calculates destination node and have to start bidirectional communication (=it send request and wants to receive reply, and also it receives request and has to send reply). Each node can communicate with other node.

Is it possible to use zeroMQ for such architecture?

Stevo

Yes. Looks like epoll is not supported by the OS. Interesting.

Yes. Just define ZMQ_FORCE_POLL.

export CXXFLAGS=-DZMQ_FORCE_POLL
./configure
make
