More funny is that these happen in one group, too. F.e. "trunk" means completely different thing with Cisco switches and HP switches. Since name "QoS" hasn't yet been popularized in 0MQ community and this is networking software it seems sensible to not get used to it in confusing context.
The only thing you need to do about QoS is to tell your network admins to reserve you some bandwidth or complain about slow transfer and packet drops. :) > > I don't know where the term first originated from but I agree > it's best to avoid confusion. So maybe "delivery guarantees" or > "reliability level" might be better words. Reliability sounds just fine. But use whatever suits you if it's not QoS. :) With regards, Jarek _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
