[zeromq-dev] Epoll for IPC

I was curious what does ZMQ use for inter process communication (poll /
epoll).

I wanted to switch to Linux epoll considering its designed for this, and
can scale well when you throw many connections to it. The socket that I'm
using w/ ZMQ right now is TCP, but I could switch it to IPC; if that'd
enable epoll.

Also, what sort of overhead does ZMQ add to poll/epoll interface?

Cheers,
Manish
