[zeromq-dev] inproc message delivery

Folks;
    We are testing message delivery between 2 zmq sockets. We have done testing over the network between 2 nodes, on a single node and within a single process. For the single process case we use inproc transport. When we examine the delivery times we find that single node ipc transport is better than network. Surprisingly, inproc transport performance is virtually indistinguishable from ipc transport. I would expect ipc to be blazing fast in comparison. For the record we are using ZeroMQ 4.2.2 on red hat 7 64 bit. What should I expect using ipc transport?

Thanx
Rick
