[zeromq-dev] internet deployment

[Viet Hoang (Quant Edge)]

It doesn't happen very often, and it only happens to Windows XP (so far). The scenario is we have the trading terminal running on client's computers. During network lost, the terminal using Major Domo pattern trying to reconnect (connect, timeout, destroy) to a list of gateways. Terminals running on Windows 7 are OK, as soon as network is back, trading resumes. Instants on Windows XP have problem. After 10-20 times of trying to reconnect, the terminal crashes. We build transparent module to separate the network layer and business layer, therefore we could localize the problem is with the libzmq 3.1. However without console screen, we could not trace to the exact assertion.

I will try to reproduce the issue by running a small tests, connect/destroy sockets, on Windows XP. I will let you guys know later if I could reproduce.

Cheers,

Viet
