[zeromq-dev] question about sub/pub speed and capability

[Johnny Lee]

general question about sub/pub capabilities:our program needs to quickly send a message to possibly hundreds of receivers. 
let's say we want 1 publisher publishing a single, simple message to 400 subscribers within 5 seconds. 


as I understand that the ZMQ protocol really has the Subscribers "pull" the message 
as oppose to a single sender "pushing out" hundreds of messages to the different receivers, 


how fast can all the of the receiver/subscribers get the message?


would this depend on the "horse-power" of the workstations?
how robust the network infra-structure is?
what would be the limitations that would slow down the message transmission?


please let me know if you need clarifying details.


thank you.
