[rabbitmq-discuss] Fwd: socket error while using rabbitmq and a NAT (Network address translation)

Wed Mar 2 15:19:37 GMT 2011

Hi,

Well, two correction.
1. I mentioned I did the with/without tracer check on our application. not
the multicast.
2. the computer which I am running the tests on does not have a NAT. I tried
to narrow it down so I found one of the comp that has that problem and does
not have a nat.

OK, and now for the new interesting part. with evidence :-) .

As you suggested I tried to do a test . with the multicast .
I will describe it

 1. made directroy name RMQTest - put both clients in different folder

C:\RMQTestEnv\rabbitmq-java-client-bin-1.7.0
C:\RMQTestEnv\rabbitmq-java-client-bin-2.3.1

2. copied a batch file that has the following command to both folders.

runjava com.rabbitmq.examples.MulticastMain -h 192.168.100.251 -p 1434  -e
X1X1X1X1

3. ran it in both folders (finished one, started the other one. not
simultaneously) .
first the 1.7.0. output

C:\RMQTestEnv\rabbitmq-java-client-bin-1.7.0>runjava
com.rabbitmq.examples.Multi
castMain -h 192.168.100.251 -p 1434  -e X1X1X1X1
starting consumer #0
starting producer #0

recving rate: 10278 msg/s, min/avg/max latency: 655/5061/27513 microseconds

recving rate: 10554 msg/s, min/avg/max latency: 663/15783/92337 microseconds
sending rate: 10909 msg/s

nice

now the 2.3.1.

C:\RMQTestEnv\rabbitmq-java-client-bin-2.3.1>runjava
com.rabbitmq.examples.Multi
castMain -h 192.168.100.251 -p 1434  -e X1X1X1X1
starting consumer #0

thats it. doesn't seem to work.

4. ok. now the trace thing.
added a trace of 2.3.1 and changed the multicast 2.3.1 to link to the
Tracer.

the 2.3.1 command
   runjava com.rabbitmq.examples.MulticastMain -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5672 -e
X1X1X1X1
the trace command will be then
   runjava.bat com.rabbitmq.tools.Tracer 5672 192.168.100.251 1434

and it was successfull, as you can see with the Tracer.

C:\RMQTestEnv\rabbitmq-java-client-bin-2.3.1>runjava
com.rabbitmq.examples.Multi
castMain -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5672 -e X1X1X1X1
starting consumer #0
starting producer #0

I dont think we need tracer for 1.7.0. because 1.7.0. works even without a
tracer.

Thanks.
I know it is a long thread so far. But if you will succeed in helping us
solve this.
You will be our hero.
