[zeromq-dev] Publishers stops sending data after sometime. Subscriber is required to fix publisher

[Justin Karneges]

Hi,

One issue with socket types that don't usually write data (such as SUB) is that a dead connection might go unnoticed forever. You can work around this by enabling TCP keep alives on the SUB socket. I don't know if you're getting dead connections here but just thought I'd mention it.
