Setting beacon port does not set the broadcast port

[Pawel Osiczko]

Hello,

It appears that setting beacon port via

require 'rbczmq'
beacon = ZMQ::Beacon.new(11111);
beacon.publish 'test'

has no effect what goes on the wire. Capturing the traffic on the wire when running the above multiple times shows that a port is always ephemeral:

I'm not 100% sure if this is czmq issue or rbczmq yet, as I'm quite new to the zmq world. Or am I missing something basic?

I'm running rbczmq 1.7.5.

Thank you,

Pawel

Thanks for flagging :-)

Fixed in 1.7.6 ( a749e3f && http://rubygems.org/gems/rbczmq )
