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

[Justin Karneges]

One thing you might do is run netstat on both sides to see if the
connections are still listed. In a dead connection scenario, netstat
should no longer list the connection on the PUB side, but should remain
listing it on the SUB side.
Note that it can take time for the PUB connection to give up. On Linux,
the default is something like 20 minutes after it dies, so give the PUB
side some extra time after messages stop transmitting. If transmission
hasn't worked for over 20 minutes and netstat is still showing the
connection on the PUB side, then the problem may be something else.
