[zeromq-dev] EPGM Congestion Control

[Michael Holm]

2.  Correct me if I am wrong but I thought EPGM was PGM implemented over UDP. If this is correct then after you create the datagram socket you can set the option IP_MULTICAST_TTL via setsockopt. I do not believe this is currently available in 0MQ. Is that correct?

3. Yes, I could provide a patch. I plan on using 0MQ to distribute multiple prices feeds. It's not realistic to batch prices until you have a full UDP packet before sending them. This would add latency where it's not desired. I am assuming there is a timer tied to the queue which is performing this limit. Is that timer configurable and what is the default time interval?

"There is no actual question about PGM congestion control?" - (1) Nagel addresses from a TCP/IP POV. (3) Addresses it from an EPGM POV

Thanks
Michael

There are no TTLs either in PGM or 0MQ. Do you mean IP TTL option?


That's what I would guess, IPv4 TTL / IPv6 hop limit.

Sounds doable. Would you like to provide a patch?

This is odd, for throughput you generally want less packets as current day technology cannot saturate Ethernet with very small packets.

There is no actual question about PGM congestion control?
