Your original message said that LINGER is set to a very large value. I am assuming that when you send your messages from each of the 100 threads, when they are done then you close the socket. The LINGER value controls how long a packet may sit in the buffer before the socket is forced closed and the packet gets dropped.

If a "sleep" fixes the problem, then clearly some socket is being closed prematurely and its LINGER times out thereby dropping packets. I would double check that all DEALER sockets and your ROUTER socket have a proper LINGER setting.
