[zeromq-dev] random missed messages with epgm pub/sub

[Edwin van den Oetelaar]

Hello Dutch guy,

1) I would try to use strace and see if it hangs in select() epoll() or
whatever
2) I would try a quick python test like so.. and see if that works to
exclude all this javascript stuff

# consumer

import zmq

context = zmq.Context()
socket = context.socket(zmq.SUB)
socket.connect('epgm://239.192.1.1:5000')
socket.setsockopt(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, 'test')
socket.setsockopt(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, 'topic_1')

while True:
    data = socket.recv()
    print data


Good luck,

Edwin van den Oetelaar (near Eindhoven)
