These options are confusing and redundant. Their names suggest they apply to the tcp:// transport, yet they are used for all stream protocols. The methods zmq::set_tcp_receive_buffer and zmq::set_tcp_send_buffer don't use these values at all, they use ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF. Solution: merge these new options into ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF. This means defaulting these two options to 8192, and removing the new options. We now have ZMQ_SNDBUF and ZMQ_RCVBUF being used both for TCP socket control, and for input/output buffering. Note: the default for SNDBUF and RCVBUF are otherwise 4096.
ZeroMQ
Welcome
The ZeroMQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends the standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by specialised messaging middleware products. ZeroMQ sockets provide an abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging patterns, message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to multiple transport protocols and more.
