[rabbitmq-discuss] Checking consumer message delivery

Wed Dec 19 09:08:14 GMT 2012

I'm doing some testing around consumer behaviour and I'd like to confirm 
that what I'm seeing on the wire is expected RabbitMQ behaviour. My 
environments are running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (32bit and 64bit), Erlang 
R14B04 and RabbitMQ 3.0.1.

In my simple test I publish one message to a queue. Then I register a 
consumer on that queue. What I see coming back from the server (via 
Wireshark) is a frame that contains a consume-ok and a delivery message set 
as follows:

Frame 24: 250 bytes on wire (2000 bits), 250 bytes captured (2000 bits)
Ethernet II, Src: 00:00:00_00:00:00 (00:00:00:00:00:00), Dst: 
00:00:00_00:00:00 (00:00:00:00:00:00)
Internet Protocol Version 4, Src: 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1), Dst: 127.0.0.1 
(127.0.0.1)

Is this what you would expect to see or should the consume-ok and delivery 
set be returned as separate frames? Any help would be much appreciated.
