- reuser 15y agoAny VPS host, or EC2, will let you run ZeroMQ in whatever way is appropriate to your problem. edit: and same for if you run your own server or rent a server, obviously
- beagle3 15y agoHowever, many services won't let you make full use of it; e.g. last year when I tried to get multicast between my EC2 nodes, it discovered it was unsupported. If you're only using ZeroMQ in tcp or inproc mode, it is nice, but in a pub/sub scenario you are wasting a lot of bandwidth and CPU time.
- oconnor0 15y agoCan you explain why you're wasting a lot of bandwidth/CPU time in pub/sub?
- hogu 15y agoif you're not using multicast in pub sub, you're establishing individual tcp connections between nodes, it's not any different than doing N point to point communications, whereas with multicast, the data is only copied when needed, your data will fan out if that makes sense with your network topology I think if you look at the picture it'll be clear http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast
- swah 15y agoBut when you have to add the second ZeroMQ (say, two Linode VPSs), how do you secure communication between those nodes?
