[zeromq-dev] Cannot setup high water mark for PUB/SUB

[Aaron Sokoloski]

Hi Vince,

Sorry to not directly answer your question, but what's the actual problem
you're trying to solve?

For example, what is limiting the subscriber from reading incoming messages
as fast as they arrive, in your use case?
Cheers,
Aaron
